I get an error when trying to add a comment.
If you are receiving an error when posting a comment, you may be using an outdated version of Instagram.
In order to post a comment, you must be running at least Instagram version 2.4 on your Apple device or version 1.0.5 on your Android device.
If your version of Instagram is current, your comment may be failing for a different reason.
There are a few reasons why comments may fail:
* You can only include up to 5 @ mentions in a single comment
* You can only include up to 30 #hashtags on a single photo
* You cannot post multiple, duplicate comments (including emoji)We have these guidelines in place to help reduce spam on Instagram. There are so many great conversations that take place in the comment feeds on photos, and we want to make sure those conversations aren't interrupted by spammy comments.
When you post a comment that fits any of the three categories above, you will receive a pop-up warning prompting you to learn more or delete your comment. We're also filtering for certain words and phrases. We hope these changes encourage more genuine interactions between users.
