Private “likes”. The new Instagram policy is being tested around the world. The measure aims to decrease the social pressure of red hearts. The network wants to get rid of ego drifts. This test does not affect all accounts. If the measure is put in place, users will still be able to count their own likes. “This is a fundamental change for Instagram and we are continuing our test to learn more from our global community,” says the social network. For the moment, nothing says that this measure will be adopted. Some are happy to no longer be victims of greed and social pressure. Others complain about the disappearance of “likes” and what they represent to the public. But nostalgic Internet users have found a trick. An extension of the Google Chrome web browser has created a tool named The return of likes to bring back the famous mentions. The tool gives access to the like but only on computer. INSTAGRAM PROTECTS CHILDREN! This measure does not happen alone. Instagram also wants to protect its young users. First by prohibiting enrollment under 13 years. A check of the date of birth will ensure the safety of the youngest. Instagram is aligned with Facebook, Snapchat and TikTok who are already requesting a birth date. Nevertheless, it will be possible in principle to enter a false date of birth. The social network also adds access parameters to group chats. Completed the additions in spam groups!
