Instagram making likes private for some UK users to 'remove pressure'

 

Instagram says 'feedback from early testing has been positive'

People who are part of the test will be selected randomly.

 

Instagram is not revealing how many users will be involved, but advised those selected: "You'll no longer see the total number of likes and views on photos and videos posted to Feed unless they're your own."
