Photo comments disapeared

My wife and I just tried sharing an album and having some family comment on the photos we shared. We got some comments on a number of photos, and received notifications. We were able to read the comments a couple of hours ago - but now the comments are gone, with no trace.

Has anyone had a similar issue? Does Google Photos track comment history similar to Drive? I've been looking for a while and couldn't find anything.

Just open the album concerned in your browser via https://photos.google.com/albums - then you will find back these comments also (unless removed).

There is something like a history indeed, but I don't know where.

So others will come with bright ideas.

If you still unable to find the comments, try the following steps in a sequence to see if it helps resolve the issue:

Try a different browser to see if it is a browser related issue.
Clear your cookies and cache.
Try Incognito/private window.
Disable extensions/add-ons/plug-ins.

Here's a useful help center article for more information on "Change sharing options".
