As early as April, speculation began about the possibility of Instagram making such a move and obfuscating the number Well the content published on the platform. At this time, The test was short and only conducted in Canada. However, lately it has been possible to modify the application code to enable this option. The function has now officially reached the platform and has expanded its availability to a total of six countries, as the company itself announced vía its Twitter profile.
