Facebook has been testing the ability to hide like counts recently and now the option is rolling out to everyone on Instagram, giving users the option of hiding their like counts from the public eye and hopefully depressurizing their experience. It seems that while some users see like counts as beneficial, others found that it placed undue pressure on them and affected their mental health. Join us after the break where we show you the simple steps on how to hide the Like and View Counts on your Instagram feed.
Hide the Like Count on your own post
Hiding your own like counts is as simple as clicking on the three dots menu on the top right of your post and tapping on the Hide Like Count option.
Hide the Like and View Counts on your Instagram Feed
Step 1
Tap the Hamburger Menu on the top right of your account page and select the Settings button that appears on the bottom of the page.
Step 2
Open up the Privacy section
Step 3
Tap on Posts
Step 4
Enable the Hide Likes and View Counts toggle which will then hide the counts from posts in your Instagram feed. You’ll still be able to see who pressed the Like button on a post if you tap on the View Likes button, but it’s your choice to do so.
