How To Follow Hashtags On Instagram
If you’re interested in following a hashtag on Instagram, it’s actually really simple. Like everything else on Instagram, search, find and tap the big blue “follow” button at the top. However, if you’re new to the social networking site, here are more detailed instructions.
That’s all you have to do. Now, go home and go back to your regular Instagram feed filled with all your friends, family or people you follow. Then swipe down from the top of the page to refresh your feed. You will instantly see the results of the hashtag you are currently following on Instagram.
You can also tap any hashtag in a post or comment to view that hashtag. Next, click on the same follow button at the top.
Additionally, each hashtag page also displays related content or similar tags, so it’s easy to find and follow a group within seconds. Be careful though, you’ll quickly fill your timeline if you follow popular topics.
In closing, this basically allows you to follow any hashtag topic on Instagram rather than an individual person or page. As a result, you’ll get a lot more content to scroll through. Letting people discover more photos, videos, people, places and everything else you’ll find on Instagram.
