When do you want to put posts on Instagram and don’t want to show ever the views and likes of the post? In this article; We’ll show how to hide views and likes on Instagram (video posts, and posts) and likes counts.
However; Instagram is often testing new features, the most recent of which is the option to hide like and view numbers on your posts. This data can be useful for determining how well your material resonates with your audience, but it can also be a vanity metric that harms your mental health.
I can attest to how constantly comparing likes and views on my posts with others makes me feel stressed and destroys my self-worth over time. So I’m delighted Instagram has implemented this function to help people cope with the stress of online social comparison.
Note: This functionality is not available for Reels or IGTV videos at this time. Your followers will still be able to see your Reels and IGTV view and like numbers.
How to Hide Video Views and Likes On New Instagram Posts
Instagram will no longer display the number of likes under your post if you utilize this option. Instead, it will display the username of a follower who liked your post with the content and other information.
Step 1. Go to the Instagram app.
Step 2. As usual, create a new Instagram post until you reach the caption writing screen.
Step 3. Select the Advanced setting options on the page.
