“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.
