Instagram says 'feedback from early testing has been positive'

 

Instagram is hiding the number of likes on some posts in the UK as part of a global trial to figure out how it can "remove pressure" on users.

 

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."

 

When the trial was first launched Mia Garlick, policy director for Facebook in Australia and New Zealand, said the goal was for users to feel less judged.
