How to hide likes on Instagram posts

How to hide likes on Instagram posts

Instagram released a way to hide likes on Instagram posts in 2021. The feature works in a few different ways. Continue reading to figure out how to hide likes on Instagram.

The first way to hide likes on Instagram is to hide them from your followers.

This means others will be able to see who likes your posts but not how many likes you get per post. Check out the photo below. This is how it will look when you hide likes. Only the person who owns the account can see the total number, but if another user wanted to manually count likes they could do so. I should also note that the total number of likes doesn’t stay hidden if someone is viewing Instagram on a desktop (this seems to have changed and likes are now hidden on desktop computers as of 2022).

If you want to hide likes on your posts you must do so post by post.

Hiding likes on old posts:

In order to hide likes on posts already posted, you need to click the top right three buttons on each post right here:

Then select “Hide Like Count:”

Again, you will need to do this individually for each and every post.

Hiding likes on new posts:

In order to hide likes on new posts, right before you post your content go to “Advanced Settings” (toward the bottom of your screen) and select “Hide Like and View Counts on This Post:”

Hiding likes on video posts:

You can also hide likes on video posts (but not on IG Reels yet as of 2022). You can do it on old or new posts when you’re in edit mode. Go to: Advanced Settings > Hide like and view Counts. Turn this on for likes to be hidden on that video.

The second way to hide likes on Instagram is to hide them from yourself.

This means you can choose to hide likes from all other users. You can turn off likes from others by going into your settings and searching for posts:

And then turn on “Hide Like and View Counts:”

As you’ll see in the picture above, it says “You won’t see the total number of likes and views on posts from other accounts.”

I feel like my life revolves around breastfeeding I feel like my life revolves around breastfeeding right now! 😅🍼 Here’s what a day of nursing and pumping looks like. *Adding: People on TikTok just taught me to squeeze the air bubbles out of the bag before freezing. There's always something new to learn!
