The tiny red hearts that app<\/a>ear under Instagram photos of kids, kittens and sandwiches can be a source of stress for many users, an insidious way of measuring self-worth and popularity.<\/p>\n

Now Facebook says it\u2019s going to test out \u2014 again \u2014 an option for users to hide those \u201clike\u201d counts to see if it can reduce the pressure of being on social media. Instagram, which Facebook owns, will soon allow a small group of random users to decide whether or not they want to see the number of likes their posts and those of others receive.<\/p>\n

The social media giant says it\u2019s also exploring the feature for Facebook. Comments will still be available for people who chose to hide likes \u2014 they just won\u2019t see whether it was 2, 20 or 20,000 people who liked their posts.<\/p>\n

Instagram\u00a0began hiding likes<\/a>\u00a0in 2019. While many users welcomed the feature, others, including some influencers, worried it might take away from the social media experience. At the time, the platform didn\u2019t give users a choice to hide or unhide the like counts.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome people found this beneficial but some still wanted to see like counts so they could track what\u2019s popular,\u201d the company said in a statement. In March of this year, a bug caused like counts to disappear for some Instagram uses for a couple of hours, prompting questions about whether the company would soon relaunch the feature.<\/p>\n

The company stressed that this is still a small test and that it expects \u201cmore to share\u201d before long.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
