Instagram introduces private Story likes in attempt to clean up DMs

<p>Instagram is updating how users interact with Stories with Private Story Likes. This will let users react to others&rsquo; stories while not sending a DM. There will be a heart icon just beside the message paper airplane as said by the Head of Instagram, Adam Mosseri. Story likes will not have counts and the user can see who has liked the story. Instagram previously attempted to remove like counts from main posts too but settled for an option to hide them.</p>
