If all of a sudden yesterday (March 2) you did not see the likes on your Instagram posts, do not worry. The platform accidentally blocked this option from a good portion of users during a test it was conducting in connection with hiding "likes".

"We have been testing a new experience related to hiding likes in Feed posts. Inadvertently, we included a larger number of people in this test, which was a mistake. However, we are trying to fix it as soon as possible. "if possible, people will show up again." - said one of the representatives of Facebook.

In fact, Instagram attempts to hide "likes" for American platform users started two years ago with the aim of making this network less competitive and giving people the opportunity to focus on the things they want and that inspire them without being compared to others. The accounts included in the experiment could see for themselves who the people who liked the posts were, but the people who followed were not.

Something like this was accompanied by all sorts of comments. On the one hand people evaluated it as a decision, then the culture of influence would change based on "likes", but bloggers did not agree as they use the platform to market different products or businesses and likes are the measure of the effectiveness of tire.
