X starts hiding ‘likes’ on users’ posts

Social media platform says change will better protect users’ privacy.

X, formerly Twitter, is no longer letting users see which posts other users have liked.

The change means that users can now only see which posts they have liked themselves.

The social media platform announced the change on Wednesday, saying it would protect users’ privacy better.

“You will still be able to see posts you have liked [but others cannot],” the social media company said in a post on X.

“Like count and other metrics for your own posts will still show up under notifications. You will no longer see who liked someone else’s post.”
