While using Instagram and scrolling through feeds, we often comment on posts that we find interesting. However, after a few hours, we realize we need to remove or edit the comment for some reason.
Fortunately, Instagram provides you with an option to view your comment history. You can access the Your Activity section of the Instagram app to view your past Instagram comments. Not only that, but you can even delete your comments from the same page itself.
Check Your Comment History on Instagram
Other than that, the Your Activity page of Instagram will show you the posts you have liked and replies you have made to Stories. Here’s how you can see your old Instagram comments in easy steps. Let’s get started.

4. On the Your Activity screen, scroll down and tap on Interactions.
