The Verge --------- Instagram is giving more users the option to publicly hide the like count on their posts. The company announced on Wednesday that it’s expanding its hidden like count test, which it first announced in May, to six more countries: Ireland, Italy, Japan, Brazil, Australia, and New Zealand. The test started in Canada, where people who were included in the test had their likes hidden by default. They had to opt out to show the likes publicly, although they can always see that like count on their own content. To learn more click on the picture below to read the article.
