How To View Facebook & Instagram Ad Comments

Aug 15, 2023 2 min read

If you're running ads for your products or services on Facebook or Instagram, there's one massive problem you'll face.

You cannot see the ad comments natively.

On your normal Facebook or Instagram post, you immediately get notified when someone drops a comment. You can then tap on the comment and easily reply to it. On the other hand, ad posts or dark posts don't generate such notifications as a normal post.

You will never see a notification for your Facebook ad comments or Instagram ad comments, whether on desktop or the mobile app.

Learn how to hide Facebook ad comments.

Here's how you can find all those comments.
