Tracking likes and comments on social media can negatively impact mental health and make posting on Instagram feel more like a popularity contest rather than a space to connect with people. Show
On Instagram, you can hide likes, letting you and your followers focus more on content and less on how well liked it is. There are a couple of ways to hide likes on Instagram. You can hide likes on your own posts, either when you create a post or afterward, as well as hide the number of likes from view when browsing other accounts. Here's how to do it all.

Open the Instagram app. Go to your account page by tapping your profile icon at the bottom-right. 2. Tap the Insights button underneath your bio. 3. In the Content You Shared section, tap the arrow. 4. Tap the Likes button to sort your posts by the number of likes. On this page, you can see the number of "Likes" on your Instagram post and search for a username to see if they've liked the post. Abigail Abesamis Demarest/InsiderWill hiding likes affect my performance on Instagram?The short answer: not really. According to Hootsuite, which has done a deep dive into Instagram's algorithm, even if you hide the likes on your own posts and other people's posts, Instagram will still track likes to determine what content is served first. As long as people keep liking, watching, and commenting on your posts, turning off like counts shouldn't change the performance of your posts.
