Learn how to turn off likes on Instagram, and you&#8217;ll soon be seeing fewer notifications than you were before. While Facebook doesn&#8217;t allow you to turn off likes on your own posts, you can turn them off on other people&#8217;s posts, too. If you want to avoid getting bombarded with likes on Facebook posts, check out this helpful guide.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hide_likes\"><\/span>Hide likes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Are you wondering how to hide likes on Instagram? You can hide your Instagram like count if you don&#8217;t want to see your followers&#8217; reactions to your posts. This can be done in two ways. You can either edit your post before publishing it or you can turn off commenting altogether. Alternatively, you can block people who keep commenting on your posts. Here&#8217;s how to do it. Once you&#8217;ve hidden your Instagram likes, you can then post your photos and videos without worrying about being followed by other users.<\/p>\n<p>Instagram has been testing this new feature for a while now, and it&#8217;s already available in Canada. In 2018 and 2019, it was initially trialed in Canada and then rolled out to users in various countries. Not all users have access to this feature, but the first few million users are already able to toggle this feature. In the meantime, you can simply toggle &#8220;Hide likes and views&#8221; to hide the count on your posts.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hide_views\"><\/span>Hide views<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;d like to hide the view count or like count on your published Instagram posts, you can easily do so. First, open the Instagram app on your smartphone. From here, go to the section where you publish your published posts. In the bottom-right corner, click on the Profile icon. Next, locate the post you&#8217;d like to hide. After that, just click &#8220;Hide&#8221; and your post will no longer appear in the Views or Likes tab.<\/p>\n<p>You can also toggle the view and like counts off of single posts. If you&#8217;ve turned off this feature, you&#8217;ll find that they don&#8217;t appear on your profile. You can always turn them back on later. But before doing so, you should note that hiding these counts on Instagram isn&#8217;t a permanent solution. In the meantime, you can experiment by unchecking the switch next to Views and Likes.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hide_likes_on_other_peoples_posts\"><\/span>Hide likes on other people&#8217;s posts<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can hide likes on other people&#8217;s posts on Instagram in a few different ways. This feature lets you turn off the like count of any post in your feed, or on individual posts. To turn off the like count, go to the advanced settings page and click on the first option. Hide Likes and View Counts on This Post. This option only works after your post has been published.<\/p>\n<p>You can also choose to hide total likes for each post, but not all posts will have this feature. You must actively turn off this feature if you want it to be invisible to other people. It can be helpful if you&#8217;d like to focus on your own interests instead of competing against others. Instagram has a good reason for offering this feature. Many users find it beneficial and would like to keep their competitive spirit in check.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hide_likes_on_your_own_post\"><\/span>Hide likes on your own post<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you want to hide likes and views from your own Instagram posts, you have a couple options. You can either turn off like counts for your own posts or edit your posts so that only people you follow can see them. Then, you can publish your posts and you won&#8217;t see anyone else&#8217;s likes and comments. But if you&#8217;re really concerned about privacy, you can turn off like counts and comments for others.<\/p>\n<p>While it&#8217;s tempting to hide likes from yourself and ignore the feedback of others, it is important to remember that hiding likes on your own posts can negatively affect your engagement rate. While this is a personal choice, the impact on your engagement rate is significant for creators and brands. However, some users choose to hide their likes because they feel social pressure or anxiety about seeing their post &#8220;reactions.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Turn Off Likes on Instagram If you&#8217;ve ever wanted to stop receiving notifications when someone likes your post, you&#8217;ve come to the right place.
