Pavel Jelic A few long months ago, Instagram started hiding the number of hearts, i.e. likes, for individual posts and views for videos. He did so for a simple reason – he wanted to point out that the world should not be governed by the number of digital taps on the display. According to Instagram, psychological pressure may even have been exerted on some individuals, due to their lower popularity, which should have been determined by the number of likes. Initially, Instagram started testing this feature in selected countries, but starting today, it is becoming available globally. So, how to disable the display of likes on Instagram?

If the above procedures don't work for you and you don't see the individual options here, don't worry. Instagram, like all other applications from Facebook, release news gradually. So there is nothing special about the fact that, for example, your friend has these functions available and you do not. If you are impatient, you can try to search for an update in the App Store and, if necessary, turn off Instagram from the application switcher, and then turn it on again. If the new functions do not appear even after that, you will have no choice but to wait patiently.
