Instagram testing feature that hides photos' like count

Instagram is testing a new feature where only the person who has put out a post will see the number of likes on that post. This means the number of times a post has been liked will not be visible to audiences like currently. The feature was spotted by reverse engineer Jane Manchun Wong, who also posted screenshots of Instagram's new feature, which is being tested as of now. "Instagram is testing hiding like count from audiences," Wong wrote on Twitter.

Instagram screenshots confirm that the company is testing a feature where only the person who shared a post will see the total number of likes it gets. "We want your followers to focus on what you share, not how many likes your posts get," as per the app.
