Mumbai: Instagram is the most popular photo and video sharing platform Users can now hide like counts on their Instagram posts. Studies have shown that getting ‘likes’ triggers a dopamine release in our brains, providing a sense of pleasure and validation. By hiding like counts, you can enjoy posting without worrying about the numbers.
The feature is available to all Instagram users, including those with public and creator accounts. This option will only hide like counts on specific posts––it won’t affect all posts on your profile at once.
