Hyderabad: You can now hide like counts on your Instagram and Facebook posts. The social media platforms have rolled out a new feature that lets users control whether their followers and friends can see the number of likes on their posts and other media content.
“Today, we’re announcing that everyone on Instagram and Facebook will now have the option to hide their public like counts, so they can decide what works for them,” said Facebook in a statement. The social media giant has been testing hiding like counts on Instagram for a while.
“We tested hiding like counts to see if it might depressurize people’s experience on Instagram. What we heard from people and experts was that not seeing like counts was beneficial for some, and annoying to others, particularly because people use like counts to get a sense for what’s trending or popular, so we’re giving you the choice,” the statement added. You can hide like counts on others’ posts in your feed too through visiting the new posts section in settings.
Apart from this, you can also now filter offensive content from the DMs and control what you see and share on Facebook’s news feed with the News Feed Filter Bar, Favourites Feed and Choose who can comment.
