Hidden replies in Instagram comments
The client asked the size not as a new comment but as a reply to “how much”. In the app that is another tap. Without a parent in the table the follow-up looks like a separate cold question.
How it is stored
A reply has a parent. The list rebuilds the thread instead of a flat stream. An export without the parent breaks the meaning.
Frequently asked questions
Is the reply always visible in the app?
No. Instagram hides it behind a tap. The list puts it back.
