Facebook copied to Instagram and try to eliminate the number of tastes of each post

The influencers tremble: Facebook You try to hide the number of likes that users receive in each message that appears in the Android app.

Jane Manchun Wong, who had already discovered the same test on Instagram, discovered this novelty and shared screenshots on her Twitter account. "Facebook is also working to hide the reactions!" Said the engineer.

In the catch that Wong shared on his blog, the number of "likes" is hidden from anyone other than the one who posted the message. "By hiding the number, users may feel less worried about the popularity that their content can generate," said Wong.

On Facebook, they did not officially confirm these experiences nor in what countries they occurred, but they admitted that they were planning to no longer show the number of reactions. In recent weeks, Instagram had posted where they were testing this new feature.

Some studies suggest that Instagram may negatively affect its users. In 2017, a report from the Royal Society of Public Health in the United Kingdom described Instagram as the worst social network for youth mental health.
