However, what many users do not know is that thanks to a trick, we will still be able to know the number of likes of an Instagram post.

Until less than a year ago, Instagram showed the total number of any post published on the social network. However, to avoid inappropriate practices, Instagram decided to hide this information that was previously shown under the posts, just below the icons of heart (Like), comment (Speech bubble) and direct message (Paper plane)..
Now by default only the text: "They Like" is displayed, along with the name of a user and the option "More People". If we click on this option, we will access a list with all the Instagram users who have marked Like, but you will not see the total number anywhere. In addition, it should be noted that even if you count all the users on the list who marked Like in that post, the figure may not be correct, since due to the privacy settings of each user, some may not appear in said list.
Fortunately, if you are determined and really interested in knowing the number of likes of a publication, you can still know it thanks to a simple trick available to anyone and without having to use third-party programs or applications..
