How to Hide Likes on Instagram

How to Hide Likes on Instagram Posts

Instagram recently tested its ability to hide the number of likes on users’ posts. 

Currently, some users can hide the number of likes in their posts, and this feature will be available to all users in a short time. 

Now let’s explain how to hide likes on all posts, hide likes on some posts, and hide likes on new posts.

Normally, when you share a photo or video on Instagram, the number of likes appears below the post. While some people may like this feature, you may not want to show it when the number of likes is low. 

Instagram has introduced the feature of hiding likes for this. Let’s now explain how to hide Instagram likes step by step.

How to Hide Likes on Instagram

Hide Likes For All Instagram Posts

  • Open the Instagram app and go to the Profile tab.
  • Tap the menu icon in the upper right corner of the screen and select the Settings option.
  • Select the privacy option.
  • Select the Posts option.
  • Enable the Hide Likes and Views option.

When you do the above steps, you cannot see the number of likes and posts on other people’s posts. Instead, you will see a text saying “This person and others liked this ” under the posts.

We did this on Android, but it is done similarly on iOS.
