How To Fix the Facebook Comments Glitch (Comments Not Loading)

Refresh The App

You can easily do this by swiping down on your news feed. This should refresh your Facebook app and restore your comments.

Check Whether You’re Connected to the Internet

The easiest way to check if you’re connected to the internet is by opening other websites. For example, you can search for something on Google.

If your browser doesn’t connect, your Facebook comments are glitching due to a poor connection.

Restart the App

Force-close and restart your Facebook app. Sometimes, that’s all it takes to fix all your app glitches, especially on iPhone.

Clear Facebook’s Cache

Facebook’s cache stores the app’s frequently accessed data like stories, recent posts, and comments. However, when your cache is overloaded, it might cause your app to hang or glitch out.

Here’s how to clear it on iPhone:

  • Open the Facebook app.
  • Tap on the Menu icon at the bottom right corner.

Update Facebook

Update Facebook

Updating the Facebook app might solve the glitching comments if nothing else works. You can search for FB on the Play Store or iOS App Store. If the app is outdated, you should see an update option where install is usually located.

However, it’s important to note that older iOS and Android versions might not support the latest version of Facebook.
