Facebook is rolling out a move to hide the number of likes on users' posts during a trial in Australia this weekend.
From Friday, some Australian users were no longer able to see the number of likes or reactions on another person's Facebook post, following similar moves on the company's photo‑based social media platform Instagram in several countries including New Zealand and Canada since May.
Facebook said removing likes from view was an attempt to reduce social pressure among users.
The company said people would still be able to see the number of likes on their own posts.
