How to Hashtag When Commenting on Instagram

 

You can add hashtags in the captions or comments of your post. If you have a public account and add hashtags to a post, the post will be visible on the corresponding hashtag page. This tutorial demonstrates how to hashtag when commenting on Instagram.

 

Things to keep in mind:

 

·       When people with private profiles tag posts, they won't appear publicly on hashtag pages.

·       Numbers are allowed in hashtags. However, spaces and special characters, like $ or %, won't work.

·       You can only tag your own posts. You can't tag other people's photos/videos.

·       You can use up to 30 tags on a post. If you include more than 30 tags on a single photo/video, your comment won't post.

 

To tag a photo or video with a hashtag:

 

1.    Take or upload a photo or video by selecting the plus icon.

 

2.    Next, choose to add a filter if desired. 

3.    Then select next.

4.    Select “Write a caption” 

5.    Type # followed by text or emoji (example: #flower).

 

6.    Select Share.

 

After you tag your post with a hashtag, you'll be able to select the hashtag to see a page that shows all the photos and videos people have uploaded with that hashtag.
