Adam Mosseri, the CEO of Instagram has announced the App will start hiding “like” counts on users’ posts in the US from next week.

Mosseri made the announcement at the WIRED25 conference in San Francisco on Friday, November 9, 2019.

“We will make decisions that hurt the business if they help people’s well-being and health,” Mosseri said on stage at the event, Wired’s Adrienne So reported.

According to So, Instagram will hide like counts only for certain users in the US. It’s part of a test that the company has already begun in some other countries as it responds to critics and tries to create a ” less pressured environment ” on the platform.

The test which first started in Canada has also been done in Ireland, Italy, Japan, Brazil, Australia, and New Zealand. Facebook is also running a test of hiding like counts in Australia.

  1. I simply want to mention I am just beginner to blogs and really loved you’re page. Very likely I’m likely to bookmark your website . You surely have terrific articles and reviews. Thank you for revealing your web page.

  2. Hi there, I discovered your web site by the use of Google whilst searching for a comparable matter, your site got here up, it appears good. I have bookmarked it in my google bookmarks.

  3. One more thing I would like to express is that as an alternative to trying to match all your online degree classes on days and nights that you end work (as most people are fatigued when they get home), try to arrange most of your lessons on the weekends and only a couple of courses on weekdays, even if it means taking some time off your weekend break. This is really good because on the saturdays and sundays, you will be extra rested as well as concentrated upon school work. Thx for the different points I have figured out from your weblog.

  4. Hi there! I know this is somewhat off topic but I was wondering if you knew where I could locate a captcha plugin for my comment form? I’m using the same blog platform as yours and I’m having difficulty finding one? Thanks a lot!
