NEW DELHI: Social networking giant Facebook on Wednesday said it will now allow users on its platform as well as those on Instagram to hide their public like counts.
This is part of the company s efforts to give people control over their experience, a statement said. We tested hiding like counts to see if it might depressurise people s experience on Instagram.
