You can hide likes and share counts on Threads globally or per post to reduce public pressure and block out distracting engagement metrics. Because Threads is built on Meta’s ecosystem, managing your privacy settings directly affects both your Threads Content Preferences and your Instagram feed. Hide Likes on Others’ Posts (Global Setting) To stop seeing metric counts across your entire feed: Open your Threads profile. Tap the Menu icon (two lines) in the top corner. Select Content preferences. Tap Hide like and share counts. Toggle the feature On.
