How is the comment count verified?

We re-run our own Instagram comment exporter against each public post in the list and compare the result against the previous count. The "Last verified" date at the top of the leaderboard shows when the most recent refresh ran.

Why are the giveaway posts at the top?

Giveaways that require a comment to enter (typical mega-giveaway: car + iPhone + PlayStation + cosmetics) generate vastly more comments than any organic celebrity post can. They're the only posts in the 10M+ comment territory.

Can I export comments from these posts myself?

Yes — click "Export comments →" on any row that has a verified URL. It opens our Instagram exporter with the URL pre-filled. Free tier returns up to 100 comments per export; paid plans go up to 250,000.

Is the list live or static?

The post selection is curated and refreshed periodically. Comment counts on each entry are re-verified by our own exporter on a regular cadence (the date shown at the top of the leaderboard).

Why are some entries marked "refreshing"?

Either the post was added recently and is awaiting its first verification pass, or the previous count was made stale by a re-counting policy. The next scheduled refresh will fill it in.

How do I suggest a post to add?

Send us the post URL via the contact form . We'll re-verify with our exporter — if the comment count is higher than the lowest entry currently on the list, it gets added.

Why are the most-liked and most-commented lists so similar?

For organic posts (no giveaway mechanic), comment count and like count correlate strongly — the same celebrity moments that drive likes also drive comments. The big exception is giveaway posts, which have inflated comment counts because the "comment to enter" mechanic only counts comments, not likes.

Is there an API to query this leaderboard?

The data backing this page comes from our regular Instagram comment exporter. The exporter itself is available via REST API on Premium and Business plans — point it at any of these post URLs.

हर समय के सबसे ज़्यादा कमेंट वाले Instagram पोस्ट्स (2026) — Top 25 + Live Counts

This is the live leaderboard of the most-commented public Instagram posts ever recorded — from Lionel Messi's World Cup victory (the most-liked post of all time, with millions of comments alongside) to the @world_record_egg that started the entire most-engagement competition, to the giveaway-driven posts that have crossed 40 million comments by asking entrants to comment to win.

How we measure

The list combines two sources of "most engagement on a single Instagram post": the well-documented most-LIKED posts (which correlate strongly with comment counts on viral content) and standalone giveaway posts that dominate comment counts specifically (because comment-to-enter mechanics inflate them well past celebrity averages). Counts are re-verified periodically using our own Instagram comment exporter — the same tool you can use on any of the rows below. The "comments" column shows our most recent verified count; "likes" gives a sanity-check on the post's overall reach.

Last verified pass: 2026-05-11. Some entries marked refreshing are awaiting the next scheduled re-verification.

Why these particular posts?

Mega-giveaways dominate raw comment counts. Posts that require a comment to enter (car + iPhone + console + cosmetics packages, common in EU/Greek/MENA regions) routinely cross 10–40 million comments — far more than any celebrity post can organically.
Sports moments drive sustained celebrity engagement. Messi's World Cup post, Cristiano Ronaldo's Al-Nassr signing, and the Louis Vuitton chess ad each pulled millions of comments within days because they hit a single peak event.
Personal-life announcements from top-3 celebrity accounts (Selena Gomez wedding, Taylor Swift engagement, Kylie Jenner's Stormi reveal, Ronaldo's pregnancy announcement) hit massive comment counts because the parasocial connection drives commenting more than passive liking.
Cultural moments like the @world_record_egg or the @onedirection campfire post after Zayn Malik's departure absorb engagement from entire communities at once.
Tribute spaces like @xxxtentacion's final post keep accumulating comments years after the original date — these posts are not really "viral" so much as "ongoing".

Want to see the actual comments on any of these?

Every row has an "Export comments →" button (or a profile link if we don't yet have the direct URL) that opens our Instagram comments exporter with the post URL pre-filled. Hit "Start Export" and you'll get the full comment thread — every commenter handle, every reply, every emoji — in Excel, CSV, or JSON. Useful for:

Brand-listening research — scan the actual sentiment in the comments on a celebrity announcement before pitching a similar campaign.
Influencer due diligence — verify whether high-comment counts come from real engaged accounts or from giveaway entry-comments.
Viral-mechanic analysis — pivot the comment text on a giveaway post by language, by emoji density, by repeat-commenter behaviour.
Academic / journalism — full comment threads on culturally-significant posts (the World Cup, the Egg, the K-pop fan-engagement spikes) are useful primary sources.

Plan limits

Per-post size scales with your plan. Free (no signup): up to 100 comments per post. Personal: 5,000. Premium: 50,000. Business: 250,000 — see pricing for the full feature comparison and API tiers for the API-specific limits.
