When discussing Instagram, likes and followers immediately come to the forefront. The photo and video sharing platform seems to have evolved into more of a popularity contest amongst its users.

Well, viewing likes may be a complete thing of the past as the tech giant began testing the removal of the publicly viewable like feature in the United States in November.

The removal of the public like feature has been tested by Instagram already in places like Australia, New Zealand and Japan, and Canada. The like feature won’t be removed entirely either. Users will still be able to see how many likes their own pictures received, but that metric will not be displayed to the public.

“It’s about young people,” Instagram CEO Adam Mosseri said during a chat hosted by Wired.  “The idea is to try and depressurize Instagram, make it less of a competition, give people more space to focus on connecting with the people that they love, things that inspire them.”
