Instagram now hides post likes in more countries

Posted: 18 Jul 2019 01:30 AM PDT

In Canada, Instagram has been testing a change to its platform that hides the number of likes on posts so only the owner can see them. Now Instagram has expanded the trial to several new countries including Ireland, Italy, Japan, Brazil, Australia, and New Zealand. Likes are usually used as a metric to compare posts to one another, as well as subjectively measure popularity. We are testing this because we want your followers to focus on the photos and videos you share, not on how many likes they get. Instagram has recently rolled out a new anti-bullying measure that pre-flags nasty...

Posted: 17 Jul 2019 08:13 PM PDT

With all the hype, and all of the coverage and attention that the OnePlus 7 Pro got, you might have missed the fact that the Chinese company also launched the non-Pro OnePlus 7 alongside it.
