For some users, not getting enough likes can impact their self-esteem. According to a recent report by the Royal Society for Public Health in the United Kingdom, Instagram is the most detrimental social networking app for young people's mental health.
On Wednesday, the Facebook-owned company said it's expanding its test that hides likes to more countries, including Ireland, Italy, Japan, Brazil, Australia and New Zealand.
The test removes the total number of likes on photos and videos, but the owner of the account will still be able to see them. Likes will not appear on the main feed, profiles or permalink pages. For some users, not getting enough likes can impact their self-esteem. According to a recent report by the Royal Society for Public Health in the United Kingdom, Instagram is the most detrimental social networking app for young people's mental health.
"The biggest impact of Instagram is the content," said Renee Engeln, a psychology professor at Northwestern University."The exposure to this constant stream of perfected images is what seems to hurt psychologically."
