How To Hide Likes, View Counts On Instagram

Here is how to hide and unhide Instagram likes and view counts.

Share

Meta-owned Instagram is one of the most widely used social media platforms used for sharing images, reels, stories. The posts you share on Instagram can be seen by your followers. Further, they can like and post comments on what you have uploaded.

Just like your followers, you can also see Instagram posts of the people whom you follow and like and comment on. The popularity of the Instagram profile depends on the likes and views that profile gains from its posts.
