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.
