Use hashtags correctly on Instagram - how it works
Instagram uses hashtags just like Twitter. It allows you to categorize your photos or search for images with specific content. We show you how to use the function correctly.
Instagram: Use the most important hashtags correctly
You will come across these three tags very often - in addition to tags that describe the photo content (for example #food, #me, #love etc.):
- #instagood: Instagood is a Tumblr website that regularly selects a photo with this hashtag and posts it on their page.
- #nofilter is used for photos in which no filter has been used and which are not otherwise edited.
- #photooftheday: The Instagram account @photooftheday posts a photo every day that has been tagged with this tag.
Instagram: Apps and websites use hashtags correctly
- A good compilation of hashtags for different areas can be found, for example, on the website on Tagstagram. There you can select the desired category and then copy the appropriate tags. You then only have to insert this into the description of your photo.
- Special apps such as TagsForLikes also work on the same principle. By choosing the right hashtags, you can quickly increase the number of your followers.
