App researcher Jane Manchun Wong has found the code inside Facebook’s Android app that hides the exact amount of likes on a post from everyone but the original poster, TechCrunch reported on Monday.

###

Facebook confirmed “that it’s considering a test that would hide like counts, but that the test hasn’t started running yet”.

###

Facebook owned photo-messaging app Instagram has expanded the feature to six more countries Where a post’s author can see the like total but everyone else can’t.

###

First announced in May in Canada, users in Ireland, Italy, Japan, Brazil, Australia, and New Zealand will also be able to hide the ‘Like’ count on their posts.

###

The company said the purpose behind the move is to remove the pressure among users who are concerned about the reach of their posts and impressions.

###

“We want people to worry a little bit less about how many likes they’re getting on Instagram and spend a bit more time connecting with the people that they care about,” Adam Mosseri, Head of Instagram, said during a conference in California, in April.
