Instagram has recently released an update where you can hide like counts on Instagram. So, if you wonder how you can perform this on your own, sometimes it seems to be quite useful if someone stalks a profile from those who check to see who is liking their post.Today, in this article, you will learn how you can hide your Instagram posts as well as those of other users. This also affects you on a personal level if someone’s mind is affected by fewer views or likes of your post. Follow the following guide to learn how you can hide or show a similar count on Instagram.

How to hide or show alike count on Instagram

It is quite easy to perform, and if you are using more than one account, then you will need to do the same on another account to hide or show, like on Instagram. So without further ado, let’s begin.

Hide the like count of other Instagram users.

  • Open Instagram.
  • Click on Profile, which appears in the bottom-right corner of the app.
  • Then, click on the triple-vertical line placed in the top-right corner next to add a post.
  • Next, select Settings, and then tap Privacy.
  • Tap on Post and then toggle “Hide Like and View Counts.”
  • That’s it.

Noteworthy: You will no longer be able to see your likes and views count on your post.

  • Open Instagram
  • Head over to the post that you want to disable likes for.
  • Click on the vertical triple dot and then select “Hide Like Count” from the menu.
  • Next, if you want to undo
    • From the post, using the triple-dot menu, select “Show Like Count.”
  • That’s it.

Hide Likes and Views While Creating Posts

You can also disable the like and view count while creating a new post.

  • Open Instagram
  • Click on “+” to create a new post.
  • Choose and edit your post accordingly.
  • While entering Captcha, choose Advance Settings.
  • From there, toggle to enable “Hide Likes and Views Counts on This Post.
  • That’s it!

So if you want to re-enable the view and like count, then follow the same action to disable the hide like and views count.
