The testing of hiding like counts on Instagram posts initially kicked off in Canada this year in April which soon became go-to news feed of every single tech blog and news channel out there.

And the hype was in the air for the fact that the alteration’s impact that the company brought about had some immense affect on what Instagram platform was known for- Likes (aka Hearts)!

But now, Instagram has officially made like counts private for a few users around the globe.

Instagram has made these alterations so as to stop the herd mentality that used to persist earlier where a post quite a generous number of likes was appreciated more than a post that received one or two.
