Instagram announced plans to hide the number of people who have “liked” pictures on the site for other people, meaning that the only person who will be able to see the engagement on their content is the owner of the post.
Nicki, 36, has said that she’ll stop using Instagram if they implement this feature, because she doesn’t think it’s any “better”.
The Anaconda hitmaker tweeted: “I’m not posting on IG after this week cuz they removing the likes. Hmmmm what should I get into now? Think of all the time I’ll have with my new life.
“They took away your engagements in the first place by disrupting the algorithm. Then they boost it to show you how much better this new iPhone is. I mean how much better this new IG feature is – lemme guess, u don’t believe your iPhone messes up when the new iPhone comes out… (sic)”
Instagram CEO Adam Mosseri announced plans to test the new feature last week, when he said that he wanted to “depressurise” the site for young people.
He said: “Right now, we’re testing making like counts private, so you’ll be able to see how many people liked a given photo of yours or a video of yours, but no one else will. It’s about young people. The idea is to try to ‘depressurise’ Instagram, make it less of a competition and give people more space to focus on connecting with people that they love, things that inspire them.”
