Reasons Why You Can’t Comment on Instagram
1.Your Instagram App is Not Up to Date Instagram
2.You Have Over Five Mentions In Your Comment
3. You Have More Than 30 Hashtags in Your Comment
4. You are Repeatedly Commenting the Same Thing
Your App is Not Up to Date Instagram
If you’re using an older version of the Instagram app, you won’t be able to comment on posts. If Instagram is not updated, you may face several problems using all the features of the app. So, you need to update to the new version.
You Have Over Five Mentions In Your Comment
According to Instagram’s policy, you cannot mention more than five people in a single comment. If you want to mention more people (using @ with the username), you can do so in multiple comments.
You Have More Than 30 Hashtags in Your Comment
You cannot add more than 30 hashtags to your comments and captions. Exceeding this limit will result in your comment being blocked.
You Are Repeatedly Commenting On The Same Thing.
If you copy and paste the same comment repeatedly on different posts, Instagram will detect it and prevent you from commenting by blocking you. If you add a personal touch to your comment, such as mentioning the name of the person posting, your comments will retain their individuality, helping you avoid being blocked.
You Have Surpassed The Daily Comment Limit
The Instagram algorithm will allow you to make 180 to 200 comments daily, but if you want to make more than that, it will block you.
Someone May Have Blocked You
If you are unable to comment on a specific Instagram user’s post, then that person has likely blocked you. To confirm this, try commenting on posts from other Instagram users. If you are able to comment on others’ posts, then the Instagram user whose post you couldn’t comment on has probably blocked you, or that post was deleted before you could comment.
Your Comment May Contain Words Or Phrases That Are Filtered.
Instagram sometimes bans certain words or phrases. If you mistakenly use these banned words, Instagram will filter your comment. Additionally, the person who posted can manually set up filters. If you use comments with these specific words, your comment will be hidden.
How to Comment on Instagram Again
If Instagram blocks your IP address, then use another device, such as a computer or laptop, to sign in. Another way is to use a VPN. By using a VPN, you will be able to comment because a VPN changes the IP address. Another simple solution is to switch from Wi-Fi to mobile data on your phone, which will switch from a public IP to a private IP. Most Instagram blocks are temporary and do not last more than 24 hours. So, waiting for a while without rushing can also be an option. Finally, I want to say to always keep your Instagram app updated.
