**To comment a picture on TikTok, open a video’s comments, tap the photo icon next to the text box, choose an image from your gallery and tap send.** GIFs and stickers sit behind the sticker or emoji icon in the same box. Photo comments are only available in some regions, so if the icon is missing, your account doesn’t have the feature yet.

TikTok rolls out comment features region by region, which is why one person sees a photo button and their friend doesn’t. This guide covers photos, GIFs, stickers and video replies, and what to do when the buttons aren’t there. All comment tasks are covered in the [TikTok comments guide](/blog/tiktok-comments/tiktok-comments-guide/).

## How Do You Comment a Picture on TikTok?

**You comment a picture from the comment box of any video where photo comments are available.** Listed below are the 4 steps.

1.  **Tap** the comment icon on the video.
2.  **Tap** the photo icon, a small square next to the text box.
3.  **Choose** an image from your gallery, or take a new one.
4.  **Add** text if you like, and tap send.

TikTok has been testing photo carousel comments, which let some users attach several photos to one comment. If you see the option to select more than one image, you have it.

## How Do You Comment a GIF or Sticker on TikTok?

**To comment a GIF or sticker, tap the sticker or emoji icon in the comment box, browse or search, and tap the one you want.** You can also save a GIF or sticker you see in someone else’s comment to your favourites by pressing and holding it, then reuse it from the sticker panel.

## How Do You Reply to a Comment With a Video?

**To reply with a video, open the comment on your own video and tap the video reply option, often shown as a camera or video icon next to Reply.** You record or upload a new video, and the original comment appears in it as a sticker that links back. Creators use this to answer questions that need more than a line of text.

## Why Can’t You Comment Pictures on TikTok?

**You can’t comment pictures when the feature isn’t available in your region, the creator has limited comments, or the app needs updating.** The table lists the causes.

| Cause | What you see | Fix |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Not available in your region | No photo icon anywhere | Wait for the rollout |
| App out of date | No icon, or it doesn’t work | Update TikTok |
| No gallery permission | Icon opens nothing | Allow photo access in your phone settings |
| Creator limited comments | Comment box is restricted or off | Nothing to fix; it’s the creator’s choice |
| Account restrictions | Comment features missing | Check for warnings in your account status |

Changing your account’s region to get the feature isn’t a supported fix, and tutorials suggesting it can break other parts of your account.

## Can Creators Turn Off Photo Comments?

**Creators control comments on their videos through who can comment and comment filters, under Settings and privacy, then Privacy, then Comments.** Turning comments off or filtering them stops unwanted photo comments along with text ones. The options are in [how to limit, filter and hide comments on TikTok](/blog/tiktok-comments/filter-hide-comments/).

## How Do You Delete a Picture Comment?

**Delete a picture comment the same way as a text comment: press and hold it and tap Delete.** The steps for single and bulk deletion are in [how to delete comments on TikTok](/blog/tiktok-comments/delete-comments/).

## Questions people ask

Video replies are made by the video's creator, answering a comment; viewers comment with text, photos, GIFs or stickers.
