Mixed feelings over Instagram hiding ‘likes’

Instagram is something that many people start and end their day with. While many use it to post their personal lives others use it to connect with their audience and create a niche for their brands. However, the platform has decided to hide the number of likes from the public, except the author.

In a recent interview, Adam Mosseri, CEO of Instagram, stated, “The idea is to de-pressurise Instagram”, making it a less competitive space and more focused on connections, conversations and community, especially for young people.
