The algorithm is not affected. Instagram still collects all data, including likes, and as mentioned earlier the individual user will still be able to see the amount of likes on his or her own posts. This way, likes still affect posts in metrics such as engagement and how they are prioritised in the feed.

Read More »Instagram has made it available for users to hide likes and it has consequences for both influencers and brands. The question now on everyone’s lips is “what are the consequences of this change and how should we respond to them?”. In this blog post, we explain why Instagram is hiding likes, highlight three concrete changes the update means for brands and influencers and suggest how you should respond to them as a marketer. For what reason is Instagram hiding likes? Adam Mosseri, the CEO at Instagram, said earlier in the test phase that the main reason behind the update is that Instagram wants to reduce the pressure people feel from the platform as well as eliminate the competition momentum that ‘likes’ mean – with their younger target audience in mind. The idea is that users should focus on inspiring and connecting with each other rather than competing against each other. Hiding likes is a part of Instagram’s strategy to create a more healthy online environment, which in turn should affect how people perceive and use the platform. “We tested hiding like counts to see if it might depressurize people’s experience on Instagram. What we heard from people and experts was that not seeing like counts was beneficial for some, and annoying to others, particularly because people use like counts to get a sense for what’s trending or popular, so we’re giving you the choice.” – Instagram’s announcement in May 2021 But are likes completely gone? No, they are not. Instagram made it possible for users to choose between the options to hide like counts on all posts in your feed or only hide like counts on your own post. This simply means that your followers won’t see your likes, but you can still see how many likes your own posts get. Hiding likes is not a new phenomenon on Instagram; it has been tested in chosen countries. But in May 2021, Instagram announced that they were rolling out the option worldwide.

Read More »Keep calm! The algorithm is not affected. Instagram still collects all data, including likes, and as mentioned earlier the individual user will still be able to see the amount of likes on his or her own posts. This way, likes still affect posts in metrics such as engagement and how they are prioritised in the feed. 3. It’s more important than ever to have a platform with access to hidden metrics As the hidden likes still constitute a metric that affects the post’s performance, it also affects collaborations between influencers and brands. For brands that work with influencer marketing, it becomes more difficult to collect or calculate important metrics that show how a profile performs in a collaboration. It’s also becoming more difficult for brands to find relevant influencers to work with – they can’t just look at the number of people liking the profile’s posts! So, how should you as a marketer ensure that your influencer marketing strategy is based on accurate data? One approach, that will become critical, is to use a platform with access to hidden metrics e.g. likes and audience data. This type of platform can ensure that your brand works with the right influencers by recommending profiles with followers that match your brands’ target audience. With this in mind, we think it’s fair to say that this change isn’t likely to affect the platform and your influencer marketing efforts negatively – given that you ensure the influencer marketing platform you’re working with has access to hidden data which is not visible in the user interface.
