Were you freaked out by the Instagram update yesterday? Instagram is always changing something up, but this time, the social media platform claims it was a mistake. Yesterday, IG sent its users into a frenzy when they realized that you could no longer view how many likes they were receiving on a picture or video. If you're on social media, you know 'likes' on a post means a lot to certain people. Some people make money off of 'likes' while others are ego-driven by the attention. Well before yesterday, users were able to see the actual amount of other users liking their posts.
