- Create a post as you normally would.
- On the final screen when you’re writing your caption and adding your location and hashtags, scroll to the bottom where it says “Advanced Settings.”

- Tap the three dots in the corner of the screen above the post
- From the pop-up menu, click “Hide like count”
