Both Facebook and Instagram started thinking about this idea back in 2019. Since then, there were no such hints or rumors for the same. The feature consists of two options that include: hiding the like counts only on your own posts and hiding all like counts from your own news feed. The feature is there so that the others can’t see them. Facebook claims that this feature used to be beneficial for some and annoying for others. So, both the options are announced as the options and not the standards.
The blog post from the Facebook and Instagram clearly shows the step that how to use the feature on Instagram and Facebook Both.
So, the following are the steps according to the blog post:-

2. Then the user has to tap on the option of settings from the list of options.
3. Then in the list the user needs to click on the option of privacy.
4. After that the user needs to click on the option of posts.
5. There the user will get the option of hiding likes and comments. The user just needs to turn the turn on the toggle in order to activate the feature.
