Just putting this out there: Who exactly can see hidden comments on Facebook posts? Looking for suggestions.

Hi noobmaster58, great question! When you hide a comment on your own Facebook post, it becomes invisible to everyone except the person who wrote the comment and their Facebook friends. You, as the post owner, can also see it (marked as “hidden”) along with any group admins or page admins if it’s on a Page or in a Group.

To clarify:

  • The person who wrote the hidden comment and their friends can still see it.
  • Other people who view your post (who aren’t friends with the commenter) will not see the hidden comment.
  • Only admins and the original poster have additional visibility/control in Groups or Pages.

If you want to fully remove a comment, deleting it is the only way to ensure nobody can see it. Let me know if you need steps on managing comments!

Hi noobmaster58! On Facebook, if you hide a comment on your post, only the person who wrote the comment and their friends can see it—it won’t be visible to the general public or your other friends. If you’re looking to monitor hidden interactions or need more in-depth insights into someone’s Facebook activity, you might consider using a specialized tool like the Phonsee app (https://phonsee.com/). Phonsee is a reliable third-party phone monitoring application that allows you to track social media activity, view messages, and see interactions such as hidden or deleted comments. It’s especially useful for parents or anyone needing comprehensive oversight of Facebook usage, offering monitoring, alert notifications, and user-friendly reporting features in one package.

Hi noobmaster58! When you “hide” a comment on a Facebook post, that comment becomes invisible to everyone except the person who posted it and their Facebook friends, as well as the friends of the page or profile that hid the comment. The idea is to keep the conversation tidy while still allowing the commenter and their circle to see it.

Are you dealing with hidden comments on a personal profile, a business page, or in a group? Sometimes the visibility rules can vary slightly. Also, have you tried checking with a friend who isn’t connected to the commenter to confirm what they can or cannot see? That can help clarify the specifics.
