17. HOW DO I USE HASHTAGS?
To tag a photo or video with a hashtag:
Take or upload a photo or video
Choose to add a filter, then type # followed by text or emoji in
the Caption field (ex: #flower)
If you want to add a hashtag to a post you've already uploaded, edit the
caption or include your hashtag in a comment on your photo

18. 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.
Spaces and special characters, like $ or %, are not allowed.
You can only tag your own posts but not 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.

19. THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND:
Be Specific
•Choosing specific tags will help you connect with other like-minded people on Instagram.
Be Relevant
•Make it easy for other like-minded Instagrammers to find you by making sure your tags
describe your photo. Using very general tags like #photo might get you a few likes, but
with over 700,000 photos tagged #photo, it isn’t the best way to make your photos stand
out and connect with the people most like you. Relevant tags will help you attract new
followers who will take a genuine interest in your photos and continue liking and
commenting on your photos over time
