Studies have shown that getting ‘Likes’ on social media platforms releases dopamine in our brains––the chemical associated with pleasure––and makes us feel good. Unknowingly, we all crave for more of this and ‘Likes’ and wanting to get more of it became a part of our lives.
On the contrary, when we don’t get enough ‘Likes’ on what you post, it could bother us. However, by hiding the number of likes on Instagram posts, this feeling can be avoided.
You can hide the number of likes from your followers on Instagram, even if you have a public or creator account. Do note that by using this option, Instagram will only not display the number of likes on specific posts.
You can also hide the number of shares of a specific post.
Hiding the number of likes on Instagram is a straightforward process, and all it involves is a simple setting change, which can be done from a web browser or via an Android or iOS-powered smartphone.
There are two ways to hide likes on an Instagram post or a reel. You can either hide the number of likes after the post has been published or enable this setting while posting something new on Instagram.
Open Instagram on your phone and go to the post where you would like to hide the number of likes.
Click on the kebab menu (three dots) on the specific post and select the “Hide like count to others” option. This will stop showing the number of likes on that post.
When you are sharing a new post on Instagram, you can enable the “Hide count” feature from the “Advanced settings” menu.
By following these simple steps, you can take control of your Instagram experience and focus on sharing content you love without worrying about the number of likes.
