Instagram Will No Longer Display Number of Likes and Here’s Why

Published

on

The social media giant Instagram is adding a new feature that will allow users to hide the number of likes on the photos and videos posted.

“We are testing this because we want your followers to focus on the photos and videos you share, not how many likes they get,” said Facebook, which owns the app, in a blog post ahead of the firm’s F8 developer conference in California on Tuesday.

This new feature will be launched for Instagram users in the upcoming days; thus confirming the rumors that have been circulating ever since Jane Manchun Wong, the technology blogger, shared screenshots of the prototype version on her feed last month.

This new feature will enable users only to view the number of likes their posts get, but their followers won’t be able to view them.

Removing public-facing likes “could result in users posting more authentic content and feeling less pressure on the platform”, says CNN.

“For teenagers, this is great because it would no longer highlight levels of popularity of themselves against other kids,” said Randi Priluck, a professor of marketing at New York’s Pace University. “But they’re still going to see their own likes. People are very driven by rewards so they’re still going to be competing for those likes. It’s not going to fully solve the problem.”

I couldn’t agree more with the previous point of view, however, the feature is still considered quite an impressive move. Besides standing against peer pressure, the feature is also attempting to stop the comparison that teenagers tend to do against influencers, bloggers and even their friends.

However, an issue that the feature failed to tackle, is that users will still be going after the likes, even if it will appear only to them. Because the more likes they get, the higher their self-esteem gets and vice versa. The number of followers is yet another measurement of popularity, which as well, the feature doesn’t help with this issue.

But then again, it is a smart move from Instagram, and a step towards eliminating the threats that social media outlets impose on the mindset of youth.

This summer season, LE MÉRIDIEN CAIRO AIRPORT is helping sun-seekers savour the good life and the beauty of Golden Hour with its own take on Le Méridien Hotels & Resorts’ global brand programme, Au Soleil by Le Méridien.
Personifying the laid-back elegance of European summers and the allure of the Côte d’Azur, this season’s global programme revolves around ‘Golden Hour,’ the magical hour at the end of the day under the sun – a sacred moment in time to slow down and indulge in simple pleasures through all the senses.
Beginning June 2022 LE MÉRIDIEN CAIRO AIRPORT will invite travellers to soak in the summer season and Golden Hour, both on- and off-property:
The Hotel will feature a How to Summer Guide, dedicated Petit Plates menu offering Mediterranean inspired mini baguettes perfectly paired rosé spritzers and aperitifs, part of the brand’s signature Sparkling Programme. In addition, Le Méridien is bringing modern twist to classic games traditionally enjoyed outdoors during warm weather days such as the iconic backgammon, as well as, poolside chess and other timeless summer pastimes both to-go and as an oversized option, inviting guests to linger a little longer, with an exclusive warm weather soundtrack, curated by French Bossa Nova collective Nouvelle Vague.
