Want to hide the number of likes on your Instagram posts? You've come to the right place. Here, we'll explain in detail how to hide your Instagram likes from other users of the platform.

This feature was introduced on the Instagram app a few years ago by Instagram to preserve the sanity of its users. A good way to refocus the social network primarily on sharing photo content rather than a simple number of likes obtained. The mental health of social network users is increasingly becoming a priority for platforms.

If, however, the number of people who like your photos is important to you and you want to boost your number of followers and likes, discover our free Instagram management tool.

In the meantime, find out how to hide the number of likes in the rest of this article.

By doing so, you'll be telling Instagram that you don't want to see likes under other social network users' publications.

We recommend enabling this feature if you constantly compare your number of likes with those of others. Or if you use Instagram primarily to see beautiful content without paying attention to who likes what.

Of course, you have the option of disabling this feature at any time to display the likes of all publications on your News Feed again.

How to hide likes and comments on your own publications

If you simply want to hide your number of likes from your followers who will see the publication, here's how to do it. This can be done in the last step of publishing a post.

  1. Always in your settings menu, go to "Advanced settings" at the bottom of the screen.
  2. Enable or disable the "Hide mentions "I'like" option and the number of views for this post".
