Over here they said they removed likes soIm all for it but does anyone know what the benefit to Instagram is as a company? They won’t be doing it to please us, it must have a benefit to them.
Yeah exactly, I’m not buying that Instagram is doing this for our health and well beingOver here they said they removed likes so
a) more focus on the image instead of the popularity of the image/account and
b) removing like counts has a positive effect on mental health.
Not sure what either of those have to do with benefiting instagram. Perhaps there's a hidden agenda or something, would not surprise me. I can't see them removing likes because they're concerned about mental health, when SM is one of the most detrimental things for mental health! Sure time will tell!!
However I like not seeing how many likes everyone has.
It makes no sense to me because you can still click on ‘and others’ and it will list everybody who has liked the photo.
Obviously, if nobody that you follow likes the photo you can’t see the ‘others’ part, but if people that you do follow like the post you can then see every single other person who has also liked it.
I feel like if they’re going to remove likes then they need to remove them entirely and not have the option to then click on ‘others’ and see all of the likes.

I’m in Australia as well, how weird that it’s different!For me it doesn't show anything, no likes or anything especially the "and others" bit. What country are you in as only a few have removed the view likes part so far
I think it stays the same, it’s dependant on what your App Store location settings are set at rather than where the phone itself isI wonder what happens when someone based in Australia, like Courtney Adamo, travels to another country like she’s been doing for the past few weeks.
