Rumors have spread around for a while since a tester leaked screenshots of the news update, but it was officially announced at the Facebook F8 Developers Conference and will be rolled out in Canada as early as next week..." https://www.forbes.com/sites/nicolemartin1/2019/04/30/instagram-may-be-getting-rid-of-likes-on-platform/ Can someone from Canada confirm this??

Maleficent 6 Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Just now, NightmareGa said: This will totally change everything it still shows everyone who liked it (i thought it might just show mutuals, but no). so technically you can see the popularity of the post by how long it takes to scroll through the list Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
