If you find you’re getting too many notifications on your Instagram photos, then maybe considering getting less Instagram likes is a good thing for you.
On Instagram, other than your followers liking your photos, other users can also view them if you hash tag your photos using the common and/or popular tags. Your photos will be listed in Instagram “Search” directory and anyone browsing through this section can view your photo. This is how you usually get more Instagram likes.
If you don’t want this to happen, you can remove all hash tags (if there’s any) on your photo. This way, your photos won’t be visible to other users who aren’t your followers. Other than that, you can also set your account to private so even if someone tries to search your photos by your username, they won’t be able to view your gallery.
However, the number of likes you receive really does depend on the type of photos you post and how others view them. If you practice what we suggest, then you shouldn’t be getting too many likes.
