You can edit your Instagram comment as many times as you want or need to within those 15 minutes. Though only the text of comments can be edited, and for comments that have a text and a photo, only the text part will be editable.
Once you edit a comment, other users on Instagram will be able to see that the comment was edited, but they will not see the original version.
Earlier, Instagram allowed users to edit their posts on the platform, but this feature was not available for comments. Now with the new update, users can correct typos or make changes just by tapping the “Edit” option within 15 minutes after posting the comment. This will not only enhance the user experience but will also reduce errors in the comment sections.
The editing feature for comments is available for both iOS and Android apps. In case the feature is not visible to you, then you should try updating to the latest version of the Instagram app.
