Once you&#8217;ve done that, tap on the three dots that appear in the top right corner of your photo. From there, you can choose to hide the count or turn off the visibility of comments and likes. It&#8217;s up to you, but it&#8217;s not recommended that you hide your like count on Instagram if you don&#8217;t want others to see it.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Unhide_likes_and_view_counts\"><\/span>Unhide likes and view counts<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can hide likes and view counts on Instagram if you want to. You can do this in advanced settings by selecting the toggle next to the number of likes and views on a post. Once you do this, you can undo the change and see your likes and view counts again. Here are some steps to hide likes on Instagram. Hopefully, you can now have the same experience as the other users who like your posts!<\/p>\n<p>Hide likes and views on Instagram &#8211; As an Instagram user, you can opt to hide these metrics, but you should consider that doing so can negatively impact your engagement rate. This is something that creators and brands should keep in mind, especially when posting to their accounts. Instagram will only be able to strike a balance if users opt in. In some cases, users hide likes due to social pressure, anxiety, or other reasons.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Turn_off_visibility_for_likes\"><\/span>Turn off visibility for likes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you are wondering how to turn off visibility for likes on Instagram, then you are in luck. There are a few simple steps you can take to do so. First, you will need to set up your post. From there, click &#8220;Advanced Settings&#8221; and select the &#8220;Hide Like and View Counts&#8221; option. Once you&#8217;ve done this, click &#8220;Save.&#8221; Next, click the blue &#8220;Share&#8221; button in the upper right-hand corner of your screen.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re concerned about your social, mental, and emotional health, you can try turning off visibility for likes on Instagram. Try it for a week or two and see if you feel better. If you like hiding your likes, you can leave it on for a while. But keep in mind that it might not work for you. So how do you turn off visibility for likes on Instagram?<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Turn_off_visibility_for_comments\"><\/span>Turn off visibility for comments<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve ever posted something on Instagram and noticed that you don&#8217;t get many comments, you may want to turn off comments for that particular post. This feature is also known as advanced comment filtering, and it lets you block comments that contain certain phrases. By default, this feature is turned off, so you might want to turn it on to prevent inappropriate comments from appearing on your posts. To do so, navigate to the Settings section of your Instagram mobile app and tap on the Privacy tab. Here, you can select the option to Hide Offensive Content and Hidden Words.<\/p>\n<p>You can also make comments invisible to others. Instagram allows users to set a filter for specific words to hide comments that contain those words. If someone makes a comment that is offensive or inappropriate, you can turn off comments for that specific user. Once you have blocked a user, you can still see their comments, but you&#8217;ll only see comments that you approve or delete. You can even block them from making comments on your account, if you&#8217;d prefer.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hide_your_own_like_count\"><\/span>Hide your own like count<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Instagram&#8217;s latest change to its privacy policy includes the option to hide your own like count. This feature has been tested and has proven beneficial for some users while annoying others. For example, if you&#8217;re trying to find out which posts are trending, you may find it helpful to see how many people have liked your posts. To hide your own like count, simply go to the &#8220;Settings&#8221; tab and click the toggle &#8220;Hide Likes.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>You can also hide your own like count on Facebook. Facebook offers a similar option, but you&#8217;ll need to adjust the settings for each post individually. The good news is that you can hide the likes for posts from specific people and brands. You just need to make sure that you&#8217;re going to hide the likes for your own posts. However, you can still see how many people have liked your post.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Hide Number of Likes on Instagram In order to hide the number of likes on an Instagram post, you need to navigate to the post itself.
