Quick Summary: How to Copy a Comment Link
Tip: On most platforms, the comment link comes from the timestamp next to the comment — not the share button.
Instagram: How to Copy a Comment Link
- Open the post on desktop.
- Find the comment you want to link.
- Next to the commenter’s username, locate the timestamp (e.g., “2d”, “1w”, or a date).
Option A: Right-click method
- Right-click the timestamp → Copy link address
Option B: Click method
- Click the timestamp.
- When the page reloads, copy the URL from the address bar.
- The link often ends with something like:
/c/1234567890...
Verify the link
- Paste it into your browser and check for
/c/in the URL. - Open it: Instagram should highlight the comment and bring it to the top.
Note: If you can’t find a comment, switch sorting to Newest (instead of Relevant/Top).
TikTok: How to Copy a Comment Link
- Open TikTok on desktop web.
- Log in to your account (required).
- Open the post and find the comment.
- Click the comment’s timestamp.
If it works, you’ll typically see a “Link copied” message.
Verify the link
- Paste and open it in your browser to confirm it points to the correct post/comment.
Tip: If clicking the comment timestamp doesn’t show “Link copied,” try clicking the post’s timestamp first — then try the comment timestamp again.
Facebook: How to Copy a Comment Link
- Open the post on desktop.
- Find the comment you want to link.
- Next to the commenter’s name, locate the timestamp.
Option A: Right-click method
- Right-click the timestamp → Copy link address
Option B: Click method
- Click the timestamp.
- When the page reloads, copy the URL from the address bar.
- The link typically contains:
comment_id=...
Verify the link
- Paste it into your browser and confirm it includes
comment_id=. - Open it: Facebook should highlight the comment and bring it to the top.
YouTube: How to Copy a Comment Link
- Open YouTube on desktop.
- Find the comment.
Option A: Click method
- Click the comment’s timestamp.
- Copy the URL from the browser address bar.

What to look for
YouTube comment links can be subtle — the URL often includes lc=... (or a similar comment identifier).
Verify the link
- Paste it into your browser and check visually for
lc=(or similar). - Open it: YouTube should highlight the comment and bring it to the top.
Troubleshooting
I don’t see the timestamp
- You may be on mobile or using a condensed UI.
- Switch to desktop (or enable “Desktop site” in your browser).
The link doesn’t highlight the comment
- You likely copied the post URL, not the comment permalink.
- Copy using the comment’s timestamp, not the share button.
I can’t find the comment
- Sort by Newest.
- Expand replies and load more comments.
- Refresh after opening the timestamp permalink.
FAQ
Can I copy comment links on mobile?
Sometimes, but it’s inconsistent. Desktop is usually the most reliable option.
How can I confirm I copied the correct comment link?
Check the URL for identifiers commonly used for comment permalinks:
- Instagram:
/c/... - Facebook:
comment_id=... - YouTube:
lc=...(or similar)
Why does clicking the timestamp work?
Because timestamps often link to a permalink (direct URL) for that specific comment.
