We recently reported that Instagram wants to hide the number of likes, sharing this information only to the account owner. Everything indicates that Facebook will also choose to do the same.
Upcoming changes on the Instagram portal caused a considerable storm among the so-called “hearts collectors“. No wonder – for most people posting photos there, the ability to show off a lot of “likes” is the only indicator of questionable popularity.
Now Facebook may face similar reactions. All thanks to the code discovered in the Android application. It clearly suggests the option of disabling popular likes for the view of bystanders.
Facebook confirms that it has been planning to test such a restriction for some time, but reserves that this does not mean its full implementation. At the moment, nothing is officially confirmed.
Hiding “likes” is undoubtedly a very controversial procedure, but taking into account recent research, everything indicates that it can positively affect the mental health of many users.
