In this guide, let us check out some troubleshooting tips to fix YouTube comments showing on iPhone and Android.

Sometimes, you may see a message in the comment section that asks you to reload the video.
YouTube comments are a great way of communicating with fellow YouTube users. Also, if you have a channel on YouTube, you can check out and manage the comments on your videos. Primarily, due to a bad internet connection, YouTube comments may not be showing on iPhone and Android devices.
