TikTok is always rolling out new features—and one of the most useful (and underrated) updates is the ability to comment with a photo. Whether you’re responding with a funny meme, a screenshot, or something personal, commenting with a picture adds a whole new layer of interaction.
In this quick guide, I’ll show you step-by-step how to comment a photo on TikTok, including how to find the feature, what to look for, and what to do if it’s not showing up for you.
📝 Step-by-Step: How To Comment With a Photo on TikTok
1.
Open the TikTok App
Make sure you’re logged into your TikTok account and have the latest version of the app installed.
2.
Find the Video You Want To Comment On
Scroll through your feed or search for the video where you want to leave a photo comment.
3.
Tap the Comment Icon
Once you’re on the video, tap the speech bubble icon on the right-hand side to open the comment section.
4.
Tap the Comment Text Box
Just like you would when leaving a regular comment, tap into the text box.
5.
Look for the Photo Icon
This is key. You should see a small image icon (it looks like a mountain and sun) next to the comment field.
👉 Tap that icon to open your photo gallery.
6.
Select or Take a Photo
You can either choose an existing image from your gallery or snap a new one right inside TikTok.
7.
Post the Comment
After selecting the image, just tap the arrow or send icon. That’s it—your comment will appear with your attached photo.
❗ Why Can’t I See the Photo Icon in TikTok Comments?
If you don’t see the image icon:
-
Update your TikTok app.
-
The feature may not be available in your region yet.
-
Try switching accounts or reinstalling the app.
TikTok often rolls out features in stages, so it might not be available to everyone at the same time.
