According to Instagram, hashtags are a great way to connect with people, get your posts noticed and build your following.

Here are some tips from Instagram about how to become a hashtag master:

Less is more: Don’t use too many hashtags per feed post - focus on the ones that are most relevant.

Focus on specifics: With a generic hashtag, your post will be harder to find. For example, posting #Labrador rather than #dog will help fans of the breed find your post.

Add hashtags to your bio: You can add hashtags to your Instagram bio, making your profile more discoverable for people who share your interests.

Find related hashtags: Type a hashtag into the app’s search bar, and then select “tags” from the dropdown menu to see the top hashtags that are closely related to it.
