Facebook has just launched a feature that allows users to hide the number of likes on posts on two platforms Facebook and Instagram.
Recently, Facebook has officially launched the feature to hide the number of likes on Facebook and Instagram.
Specifically, Facebook said this feature has been tested recently, to find out if hiding likes reduces the user experience. (Artwork: LN24) The results showed that not seeing the number of likes benefits some users, but at the same time annoys others. Therefore, this new feature will be offered as an option so that users can decide which option is right for them. This means that users can optionally hide the public like count on posts.

Starting today, Facebook will offer an option to hide the like count on all News Feed posts. You can also choose to hide the number of likes on your own posts, so that others can’t see how many likes that post has. This way, people can focus on the image or video being shared instead of the number of likes, according to a Facebook representative. (Photo: Facebook) Users can hide the number of likes on other people’s posts, by accessing the new “Posts” section under “Settings”. This control applies to all News Feed posts. In addition, users can also choose to hide the number of likes before sharing a content. This feature can be optionally enabled/disabled, even after the content has been posted. (Photo: Tech) Some experts say that hiding likes is the right thing to do. “Removing the counter helps reduce stress, anxiety and many negative emotions when using social networks, because many people often envy each other through post likes. Hiding likes also helps users focus. into the content of the article more.”
