How to Hide Like Counts From Your Instagram Posts

Instagram also allows you to hide the Like count on your own post, but only on a per-post basis. Once hidden, only you will be able to see the real Like count of the post, and no one else.

Find the post that you want to hide the Like count of and tap the three-dot menu icon in the top-right corner of the post.

From the pop-up menu, tap the “Hide Like Count” option.

Instantly, the Like count will be disabled. You can tap the “Others” button to see the real Like count.

The Like count will only be visible to you.

To show the Like count again for a post, tap the three-dot menu icon in the top-right corner and choose the “Unhide Like Count” option.

You can also hide the Like count when you’re creating a new post. When you’re writing the caption, tap the “Advanced Settings” option at the bottom of the page.

Here, toggle on the “Hide Like and View Counts on This Post” option.

Once the post is published, you’ll still be able to unhide the Like count using the menu (as shown above).
