Notably, Stories will not have like counts, which is a largely different approach than what Instagram has chosen for users’ main feeds. Instagram (which now falls under the umbrella of Meta) spent more than two years testing hiding like counts on the main feed before making the decision to leave them on by default, though users can opt to hide them on their posts.
For likes on Stories, you won’t see a public count, though you can see who left a like on your Stories when you look at a Story’s view sheet.
