Instagram considered hiding and relying on pictures of people

Instagram has considered hiding photos, so that the public can not know how many people liked an individual publication. Jane Wong, a code researcher, noticed today that a novel feature that publicly concealed figures was that the test says that Instagram wants "your subscribers to focus on what you share, and not on the number of mentions of your posts. "A photo will be able to see the number of mentions that she has received.

Instagram says that he has not tested the feature. In a statement to The Verge an Instagram spokesperson said, "We are not testing this yet, but we are still looking for ways to reduce the pressure on Instagram." [19659003] The details of the test come just days after the Independent reported that the Office of the British Information Commissioner had recommended that social platforms, such as Instagram and Snapchat, offer the ability to disable features such as likes and "trails" that encourage users. continue to post. The agency wants to ban these features in order to protect the security and privacy of the youngest users of the platforms.

This would be a significant change. to the way the platform works. I like it, although sometimes absolutely demoralizing, encourages people to post and encourages them to post powerful content. It may also lead to less authentic content, such as beautiful landscapes, nudity photos, or thirsty traps that may appeal to tastes, but are not the most interesting or thought-provoking.
