Go to your settings, select "Your Facebook Information," and then click on "Download Your Information." Choose the date range, post type (in this case, comments), and file format.

Step 3: Save and Extract: After Facebook prepares your data, you'll receive a notification to download the file. Save it to your device and extract the contents to access the comments and download all comments from Facebook posts.
