Likes removed on Instagram for Australian users
- You may have noticed today if you’re in Australia that you can no longer see how many likes other people receive on Instagram
- Instagram has tested this once before but not in the Australian market
- This is in an effort to remove pressure of likes and improve people’s experience on Instagram
- What are your thoughts with this new change?
