For those who post through trial and error but still worry about what others think

After pressing the post button, do you find yourself opening Instagram over and over again?



After pressing the post button.

Before you know it, are you opening Instagram repeatedly?

"I wonder how many times it's been viewed."
"I wonder if the likes have increased."
"It's not getting as many views as I thought..."

Looking at the numbers like that, you end up feeling happy or sad.

Actually, I was the same way.


■ Instagram has a setting to "hide view counts"


Instagram has a setting called "hide view counts."

When I first found out,
"Wow, there's a feature like that!"
I thought, and I hid them for a while.

But after a while, when I thought,
"I think I'll change it back to display."
I found myself thinking,

"Wait, where do I change it back? 😂"
And I searched like crazy (lol).

So this time, I'm sharing how to do it ✨

■ What I thought about this event
Hiding them is one option.
You feel down every time you look at the numbers.

You become afraid to post because you're worried about the view count.

In times like that, I think hiding them can make you feel more at ease.

It's a good way to make it easier to keep posting.


■ I changed it back to display
I am currently displaying my view counts.
The reason is simple,
"I don't think there's any need to hide them."
I thought that.

And one more thing.

From the perspective of the people watching,
"This person's posts are being watched properly."
I felt that they might feel a little more at ease if they could see that.

I want to build trust through my posts.
That's why I want to be as open as possible.


■ The right answer is different for everyone
Displaying is correct.
Hiding is correct.

It's not about that.

What's important is
being able to post with peace of mind.

Posting is much more about continuing than it is about going viral once.

If there's a feature you can use for that,
you should feel free to use it.

And if your thinking changes along the way,
you can just change it back.

I think you should just keep going while choosing the method that suits you best.


■ Finally
If right now,
"I'm worried about what others think, so my hands stop when I try to post."
In times like that, before you blame yourself, try looking for ways to make it easier to keep posting.

A small setting change can sometimes make you feel much lighter 😊
