Why Should I Turn On Likes & Views On Instagram?

 

Instagram Likes and Views are social proof. That means when a user visits your profile and they see your content has been receiving a large number of likes, they can be confident that your content is valuable and worth their time. 

 

This will result in a larger number of users engaging with your content and following your profile. When you hide your Likes or Views counts, it may look suspicious to new visitors and could result in an overall decrease in engagement.

 

Keeping your Instagram stats on is also important if you’re investing in SMM tools. When you buy Instagram likes, views, comments, or followers, you will need to have your stats enabled in order to properly receive what you ordered.
