How to fix YouTube Not Showing Comments

Is YouTube not showing comments? Here is a quick fix.
First, make sure to update the YouTube app if this is happening on your app.

It could be that restricted mode is turned on which limits what comments you can see.

If you are using an iPhone, you can delete or offload the app and reinstall it.

Your channel setting or video may be set for kids. This will disable comments on the video.

You can also delete chrome cookies and that may solve your issue too.

What's really frustrating is YouTube does not provide an explanation regarding why a comment is not appearing. Instead it just does nothing. Extremely frustrating.

None of my comments show up on any political videos. Google is doing this deliberately.

It's so annoying when your having a debate with someone

Unfortunately, none of these apply to the problem I am facing with YT comments. What I am noticing is that when I scroll down to the comments under the videos, I read the initial comment, but when I click on the replies to that comment, not all show up. For example, it says "View 20 replies" but when I click on that only about 6 replies show up. I know this is not only happening to me because I have heard other people complain about the same issue.

Like your style; no thundering background music, no wasted time; you just got right to it.

I have no problems with comments but I have a problem with likes. I cannot like comments, the like wont count.

Life saver!!! For me it was definitely the whole "children content" thing, which is absolutely ridiculous seeing as I don't make videos, period. I couldn't see comments on anyone's videos, but it only started this morning. I don't even have children, so I have no idea why YT would feel the need to block a 30+ yr old from reading comments. Thanks so much for helping us!

You forgot the one that causes 99% of the issues with "my comments don't appear on other people's videos". Namely, *THEY* have the video set to "hold comments for review". Solution: nothing can be done by you

[duckeditz]

I dont think this comment will even appear at this point

[SomebodyPickaName]

The issue for me is that the replies to people's comments get hidden, even when I say to show them. It will say "4 replies" but then there's only one reply visible. Not always, but it's happening more and more.

Oh my goodness! Here are the comments at the bottom of the page when they used to be right under "show more." Don't you hate when updates mess us up??? Thank

[ver-ChangingSnow]

Thank you!!! Normally, I realize it's "Force Stop" right away for whatever reason I forgot this time. Also, I didn't realize my restrictive mode was on. So, again thank you so much for making this video.🙃

My issue is a little different. I don't know how or why, but on my videos, sometimes it will tell me that I have a comment, allow me to read the comment in the notifications bell, but then the comment doesn't show up under my video. It will say the amount of comments, but not show it. And this is only for some comments. They don't have bad words or anything in them. Just regular stuff. I have all comments enabled too.

My comments disappear after a few seconds on any channel I post. Are they being marked as spam? If so, why and how can I solve this?

[forensicbadassprofiling]

Thank you so much for your help and guidance. I was able to do all the steps you talked about except I couldn't find the unload background thing. Step 5.
So if all else fails, I'll try to delete and reinstall.
Thank you again for your clear-cut instructions.

Thanks a lot I don't remember turning anything off on my YouTube settings but whenever I went to YouTube in settings on my phone camera microphone and network were all turned off. I turned those on and it worked I closed the YouTube tab on my computer and it worked this was really helpful! You have earned a sub 👍

[midguardz]

We all know about general comments not being seen but whats important is that my comments are being personally discriminated against by YT because they are more honest and blunt than other sheople living by yts community standards.

Possible solution for those who tried everything and couldn't find a solution, please read. I had the same problem, my comments all the sudden stopped showing, like I put a comment on a video I can see it, but my friends can't. The comment was visible for my eyes only and when I check again, it is gone. Same with live videos, comments are visible to my eyes only. So I thought I maybe wrote something silly in the past that youtube decided to block me now from commenting and I remained a year like that, until I discovered this strange reason. It was actually because I was using a specific phone. Yes, this account I'm. Writing from now from some reason doesn't show comments when done that phone. So now I'm using a different phone but dame account. It is unexplained why YouTube works on one but not the other. It doesn't make sense, but I hope this solve your problem

I've noticed on certain videos that it will say for example 4 comments and when you click on the comments to read them that only 1 will show or even none will show.
Now this is telling me that even when the comments go up to let's say 645 that you will not actually see 645. So in effect some people are having their comments shadow banned.

Apparently the solution is patience. I wake up the next day, things back to normal.

Thx for the help btw
