Initially, Instagram conducted this trial with the aim that users, especially creators, did not experience social pressure when they saw that other users had a high number of likes on their posts. But still, it turns out that many users refuse the presence of this feature and ask Instagram to keep showing the number of likes or at least provide options to users. Well, today this feature has been launched where users can choose to still be able to see the number of likes or not.
How to Hide the Number of Likes and Views on Instagram Posts
To find this feature, users only need to go to the Settings > Privacy > Post > menu and activate the feature that says ‘Hide Like and View Counts‘.
“You will not be able to see the total number of likes and views on posts from other accounts,” description of the feature on the Instagram application.
