How to Hide Likes and Comments on Instagram | Easy Privacy Settings — Full Guide (Updated) Instagram provides several easy ways to hide likes and comments for more privacy and a cleaner experience. To hide like counts on your posts, you can toggle the "Hide like count" option either before posting by selecting "Advanced settings" or anytime later by tapping the three-dot menu on a post and choosing "Hide like count." This removes the number of likes visible to others while keeping your own access to insights. To stop your likes and comments from showing up in the Friends tab—where mutual friends can see your activity on reels and posts—go to Settings, then "Who can see your content," and select "Activity in Friends tab." Switch it to "No one" to prevent your engagement from appearing there, improving your privacy. For comments, Instagram lets you manually hide any you don’t want visible by tapping "Hide" under a specific comment on your posts. Additionally, you can use filters to block unwanted or offensive comments automatically. These settings help maintain control over your Instagram presence and create a more comfortable social media environment. 🔒 Follow for more Instagram privacy tips and tricks!
