Have you ever posted a new TikTok video only to find that comments from your friends are nowhere to be seen? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It can be disappointing to miss out on engagement and feedback from people you know. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don’t worry – there are a few possible reasons why you can’t see comments from friends on TikTok and some troubleshooting steps you can take.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why You can’t see Your friends’ comments on TikTok<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are a few main reasons why you may not be able to see comments left by your friends:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your Friend Commented Anonymously<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

On TikTok, users have the option to comment anonymously, identified only as “A User” rather than by their username. If your friend chooses to comment anonymously, you won’t see their name or profile image next to the comment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since comments appear in chronological order, try looking at the first few anonymous comments on your new video to see if the words, tone, or references match your friends’ style of commenting. Over time, you’ll start recognizing their anonymous comments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your Friend’s Account is Private<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For privacy and security reasons, some TikTok users have private accounts. This means only confirmed followers can view their profile, videos, likes, and comments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your friend has made their account private, their comments will be visible to their approved followers but remain hidden from anyone else – including you, if you don’t also follow them on TikTok.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check to see if your friend has a private TikTok account<\/a>. If you aren’t already following each other, send them a follow request so you can interact fully once they accept.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your Video is Under Review<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

TikTok puts some user-generated videos “under review” before making them public, usually to screen content considered at higher risk for rule violations. While your video is under review, only you will be able to view and comment on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your friends don’t see any comments appearing after they’ve left encouraging words on your latest post, it may still be in review-pending status. TikTok typically completes reviews within 24 hours. Once approved, all previous views, likes, and comments should appear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There’s a Technical Glitch<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Like any social media app, TikTok has the occasional technical hiccup or app bug that leads to inconsistent performance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Problems on TikTok’s end rather than yours could temporarily prevent comments on your posts from loading properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes closing and reopening the app or logging out and back into your account clears minor technical snags. If your friends still don’t see their comments showing after 24 hours, get in touch with TikTok Support for troubleshooting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Troubleshooting Steps to See Friends’ Comments<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If your friends claim they have commented but you still aren’t seeing evidence on your posts, try these troubleshooting suggestions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Update Your App<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
