Facebook confirms that they seek to hide the likes in the publications

Instagram is already deploying the function that hides likes in posts on the social network. A change that seeks to focus more on the quality of the content. The social network will not be the only one to have this change, because Facebook would also work on it, as revealed weeks ago. The company now confirms these plans officially.

Facebook confirms that they seek to hide the likes in the publications

The firm seeks to hide likes and reactions in publications. Something that is already working on today, as it has been known.

Goodbye to likes

Facebook confirms that they are already testing this option. In it, the likes and reactions are hidden, in addition to the number of them, in the publications. The idea of ​​the social network is to reduce dependence on likes and to get as many interactions as possible. For now, users in Australia will be the first to carry out these tests.

Based on the results of these tests, the decision will be made to implement these changes in more markets or not. So first we will have to wait to see if the results are as desired.

The social network seems determined to follow the example of Instagram, where the results are being positive. Therefore, we will see if the amount of likes and reactions is also hidden on Facebook. A change that many will surely need to get used to, but that could change the dynamics in the social network. We will be attentive to these tests.
