In previous versions of the Threads app for Android, iPhone, and iPad, it was harder to view comments–tapping the post or number of comments didn't work, which made it seem like you couldn't read comments at all. This was fixed in a more recent update, so check the App Store or Play Store for updates.
If there is a Threads user who has blocked your account, their comments, reposts, and quotes won't show up beneath any posts while you're logged in with your account.^{[4]
