like count

Social media tally

A like count is the number of likes a post, video, or other content has received on social media platforms.

The metric serves as a visible measure of approval or popularity: The like count on her photo hit a thousand overnight.

Some platforms now allow creators to hide like counts to reduce pressure around engagement metrics.
