SWhen we talk about social media, especially Instagram, one of the first terms that comes to mind is the Like, that heart-shaped button that indicates the approval of a post by the rest of the users. Therefore, the number of hearts collected by each publication has become an important part for those who make a living on the social network. Not only from a subjective point of view, since each like represents an interaction, to a greater or lesser extent, and therefore a way to climb within the Instagram algorithm.


That said, it's strange to imagine a feed on this platform where we can't see the number of likes on posts. Well, some time ago between 2019 and 2020, Instagram began testing the functioning of its canada business email database network by hiding the number of likes on posts from a select group of creators.

Now, Instagram has taken a new step in this direction.
