How to Find My Comments on Instagram

InstagramBy the Boost Social Media teamUpdated September 24, 20262 min read

Instagram keeps your comments in one list under Your activity. It arrived in February 2022, and it lets you sort and filter your comments by date and remove several at once (Instagram). If a comment you left seems to be gone, the post’s owner may have hidden, filtered or deleted it.

Find your comments in Your activity

Go to your profile and tap the menu (three lines) at the top right.
Tap Your activity (Instagram).
Open your comments. Instagram groups them with your other interactions.
Sort by newest or oldest, or pick a date range, to find an old comment (Instagram).

In October 2025, Adam Mosseri still described this area as Your activity, under Settings (Social Media Today). Exact labels shift between app versions.

Delete several comments at once

From the same list you can select comments and delete them together (Instagram). You can delete comments you made, as well as comments other people leave on your posts (Instagram Help).

Why a comment you left is missing

The owner deleted it. Owners can delete comments on their posts, up to 25 at a time (Instagram).
The owner restricted you. Your comments on their posts are then visible only to you (Instagram). The comment looks normal on your screen, but others don’t see it.
Limits are on. With Limits, comments are hidden unless the owner approves them (Instagram Help).
A filter caught it. Instagram hides comments that may be offensive or bullying, and owners can add their own keyword filters (Instagram Help).
Comments were turned off. Owners can turn comments off before or after posting (Instagram Help).
It’s lower down. Creators with more than 100,000 followers can sort comments by top, newest or follower count, or show only people they follow or verified users (Social Media Today).

Find a comment on one post

Open the post and scroll through its comments. We found no source describing a search bar inside a comment thread, so for older comments Your activity is faster: filter by the date you commented.

Edit a comment instead of deleting it

Since April 2026 you can edit a comment within 15 minutes of posting it. Other people see that it was edited (Social Media Today).
