Instagram CEO Adam Mosseri said he did not lean towards the idea of hiding all the likes. Instagram, which has become popular in recent years, is testing some new features on the platform. Aware that the users in the app are competing with each other for likes, the company wants users to focus on posts, not likes. The company, which wants to prevent like competition among users, has been working on a system that hides the number of likes coming to a post you share from other users for a long time. The application of removing likes, activated for blue-ticked and popular accounts, is not yet implemented in standard accounts.
INSTAGRAM CEO WE DO NOT LOOK HOT
Instagram CEO Adam Mosseri made a statement regarding the removal of the number of likes. Mosseri said that the idea of keeping the like numbers secret from others is a polarizing idea and they do not look favorably on it. “Obviously, this is a very polarizing idea. Currently, this feature is not for those who are not interested; We started to investigate whether it is possible for us to offer it only to those who are interested. So in the next month or maybe two months, be prepared to hear more from us. ” If the change in question comes to life, users will see two new options in the menu section of the posts made on Instagram: "show like numbers" and "hide likes". In short, wishing users will be able to hide the number of likes in the posts from their followers.
