    The long-rumored feature of hiding likes counts on Facebook and Instagram has been finally released yesterday by the social media giant.

    The new update gives users two options to hide the likes count of their content: One is to hide likes during content publication, and the other is to hide likes on all content published by their account. Here is the step-by-step process to hide like counts on Instagram for your own posts:

    • To hide likes on posts, go to Settings > Advanced Settings > Hide Like and View Counts.
    • Also, you can hide like counts for individual posts from the post composer screen.
    • If you want to hide like counts of already published content, tap on three horizontal dots and select the “Hide Like Count.”

    Users can reinstate the likes count anytime they want as the option is not permanent. Even when the hides and likes count will be hidden from the public, users will always be able to access this data.
