# How to comment and mention people on Whip

> How comments work on Whip: post on public apps, like comments, @mention people, attach an image, and report or block from any comment.

You can comment on any public app on Whip to share a reaction, ask the creator a question, or tag a friend who'd love it. Open an app's comments, type up to **2,000 characters**, and post. You can like other comments, @mention people, and add one image — all in a single, shared conversation per app.

## Post a comment

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the comments" icon="message-circle">
    Tap the comment icon on any app card in [the feed](/discover/the-feed) or on
    an app's detail sheet.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Write it" icon="pencil">
    Type in the **Add a comment...** box. You've got up to 2,000 characters.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Post" icon="send">
    Send it, and it appears in the app's conversation for everyone to see.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  Comments live on **public** apps. You can't comment on a private app, and
  people you've [blocked](/account/block-users) can't comment where you can see
  them.
</Note>

## Mention people with @

Type `@` followed by a name and a little search dropdown appears — tap someone to drop in their handle. Anyone you mention gets a [notification](/social/notifications) pointing them to your comment. You can tag several people in one comment; the first **10 mentions** get notified. Posted mentions are tappable and lead straight to that person's [profile](/social/profiles).

## Like a comment

Every comment has its own small heart and count. Tap it to like a comment you agree with — the person who wrote it gets a notification. Tap again to unlike.

## Add an image

You can attach **one image** to a comment — a screenshot, a reaction pic, whatever fits.

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="What's allowed" icon="image">
    One **JPEG or PNG**, up to **5 MB**. You can post an image on its own, text
    on its own, or both together. Tap a posted image to view it full-screen.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Why is my image taking a moment?" icon="clock">
    Every comment image is [screened for safety](/account/report-content) before
    it appears. If an image breaks the community rules, it's turned back — swap
    it for a different one.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

## Editing and deleting

There's one thing to know here: **you can delete your own comment, but you can't edit it**. Spotted a typo? Delete the comment and post a fresh one. Long-press your comment and choose **Delete Comment** to remove it.

<Warning>
  Deleting a comment can't be undone. If you're just fixing wording, copy your
  text before you delete so you can paste it into the new one.
</Warning>

## One conversation, no threads yet

Comments on Whip are a single open conversation per app — there are **no replies or threads** right now. Everyone's comments sit in one list, newest activity included, rather than branching into sub-conversations. Use an @mention when you want to point a specific comment at a specific person.

## Keeping comments friendly

Every comment is [screened automatically](/account/report-content) before it goes live, so the space stays welcoming. If a comment still crosses a line, long-press it to **Report Comment** or **Block User** — blocking makes the two of you invisible to each other across Whip.

<Tip>
  A great comment is specific: what you liked, what surprised you, or a change
  you'd love to see. Creators read these, and it's often what nudges them to
  ship the next [version](/building/versions-and-history).
</Tip>

## Common questions

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Can I edit a comment?" icon="pencil-off">
    No — comments can't be edited. Delete the one you want to change and post a
    new one in its place.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I reply to a specific comment?" icon="reply">
    Not yet. There are no reply threads today. To direct a message at someone,
    @mention them so they get notified.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="How many people can I mention?" icon="at-sign">
    Tag as many as you like in the text, but only the first 10 mentions send a
    notification.
  </Accordion>
