How to disable Social Bar (Like, Views, Save for Later) in SharePoint Online Modern Page

What is the Social Bar?

SharePoint Online Social Bar will appear at the bottom of all current SharePoint Online pages (except for the home page of a site) and will give users the ability to like a page, see the number of views, likes, and comments on a page, as well as see the people who’ve liked the page.

 

Some organizations might decide to turn it off for particular sites (sites level) or across the organisation (tenant level) due to some consideration.

 

How to disable the social Bar

Social Bar by default will be turned on, but SharePoint administrator can turn it off by using PowerShell script in SharePoint Online Management Shell.( If you need more help in regard to how using PowerShell to manage SharePoint online visit the Microsoft guide line here)
