Instagram users' addiction to likes is no longer being fuelled by the app. The number of total likes will no longer be visible to you or your followers when scrolling through your feed. CARL COURT/GETTY IMAGES Instagram has rolled out a new test to benefit users' wellbeing, and create a safe space "where people feel comfortable expressing themselves". "Anyone moaning about it needs to pull their head out of the glitter-coated Instagram sand - and realise it's for the greater good of the platform." Instagram/Screenshot Instagram has also implemented a helpline tool for various search terms, such as "#suicide" and "#heartbreak".
