Can't see who liked Instagram posts

[sincethatyousaid]

Sometimes I'm unable to see who has liked an Instagram post, By this I mean 'liked by (username) and others' is completely missing from beneath the picture. I know that this post will have received likes because when I like the post myself I'm still unable to view list of usernames including my own. Plus there will be comments so very unusual to receive no likes.

Does this happen to anyone else? Anyone know why this sometimes happens? Just wondering as it happens sporadically (and never to verified accounts).

Wasn’t Instagram supposed to remove likes completely? They’re probably doing it in staged intervals. By removal, I mean that the number of likes can only be seen by the poster, not the public

@Vitaminsss yes since the update I don't see the number of likes on anyone's post, but here I'm not seeing the list of usernames who have like the post. Usually you can click on 'others' in the 'liked by xxxx and others' bit to see the list of usernames, but that bit isn't there for me.

I thought that was the idea when they trialled removing the likes. You can only see who's liked your own posts and not anyone else's, so it was more like stories.

It only rolled out to a few people though, maybe you're one of those?

Maybe they’re testing out another change with your account? Some people are randomly selected to trial new features

Meanwhile I can still see everyone’s likes as normal 🤷🏼‍♀️

Tbh, why do you need to see who's liked someone else's pic? Are you stalking someone or checking up on them?

I thought that maybe it was a trial but seems a bit random.

I've noticed the same thing. I've been Googling to try and figure out why but can't find anything.
