Learn how to use Instagram hashtags for content inspiration, follower growth, and engagement, with helpful tips for social media engagement.

Instagram has been spotted testing a way to add hashtags to posts without including them in post captions.

Instagram allows up to 30 hashtags per post, but it's recommended to use between 3-5 for optimal reach. Add hashtags to your caption or a first comment (both work).

That made keeping up-to-date with the latest puppy posts almost impossible. Fortunately, Instagram will take that burden off you by letting you add hashtags to your list of followers.

In this guide, we'll tell you how you can edit your existing posts on Instagram. So, you now don’t need to worry about typos in your posts.

Besides removing hashtags from the actual written text, a dedicated spot for hashtags may help Instagram fine-tune existing options like following a hashtag or finding new topics in Explore.
