How to Hide Likes & Comments in Instagram Reels Friends Tab
1 min read
Summary
Instagram’s new feature allows users to see which reels their friends have liked, commented on, or reshared and sparks privacy concerns.
The feature also shows users’ activity amongst followers and those they follow back.
To stop your likes and comments from appearing amongst your friends’ activity, firstly, head to your profile and click on the settings icon, then go to ‘Who can see your content’ and click on ‘Activity in Friends tab’, then switch from ‘Followers you follow back’ to ‘No one’.
Although you will still be able to see the friends’ tab, your likes and comments will no longer be visible to your followers.
You also have the option to hide certain users’ content from your feed and further control the kind of content you come across.
These changes only affect the friends’ tab and not your standard feed.
