To Like or Not to Like

Instagram is built on the foundation of user interaction and likes.

The social web link initially announced in 2019 it would begin testing the feature with certain users.

The possibility of hiding likes got mixed reactions, since manyattribute the number of likes to popularity or self-worth.

Is It Worth It?

For me, the problem with Instagram isnt the ability to see who liked your photo.
