BEST INSTAGRAM GROWTH TOOLS
What are the most commented Instagram posts in 2023?
Let’s find out!
Social media commenting has become a popular form of fancy interaction among internet users.
I say fancy because comments have ubiquitous functions be it participating in a giveaway, complimenting your best friend’s new kicks, or even throwing shade at someone.
Commenting on a post could be one of the easiest things you can do on Instagram.
This is why many people use this feature to increase engagement, especially for posts that need a little help with marketing.
Today, the most commented posts on Instagram are either ones that host a giveaway or those that are intentionally marked with “MAKE THIS THE MOST COMMENTED POST ON INSTAGRAM”.
I’m throwing no shade, we all like to join in a trend everyone else jumps in.

Most Liked Instagram Posts 2023
Aside from comments, another good measure to determine the winner of the Instagram popularity contest is the number of likes.
One includes a challenge from the world_record_egg created to try beating Kylie Jenner’s popular post which generated 18 million likes.
It lived to its purpose and now holds the title as the most liked post on the platform.

The only difference is the sign used. Facebook sticks with its good old thumbs-up sign while Instagram is left with the heart sign.
