How to Hide Hashtags on Instagram

Using too many hashtags can make you look a little helpless. But does that mean there aren’t any tricks you can use to reach a wide audience without making your captions look unprofessional?

The short answer to this question is no. This article will show you how to hide hashtags on Instagram and also answer some other important questions you may have regarding Instagram posts. Get ready to arm yourself with important Instagram post information.

Top Two Reasons to Hide Your Hashtags

There are many reasons why you might want to hide your hashtags on Instagram. However, famous or not, there are only two main reasons why most people do this.

1. Instagram cleans up your captions, which makes your post look more professional and eye-catching.
2. It shifts the focus from the extensive list of hashtags to the actual content in your headline. It’s a great way to get people to actually read what you have to share.

Hiding Hashtags in Titles

You can hide subtitles using the five-point method. Here’s how it works:

1. Type a post title.
2. Five consecutive epochs, one per line.
3. Add your hashtags.

This actually causes the hashtag list to crash. But are they really secret? – Only from direct view. If your followers want to see your hashtags, they can reveal the list by clicking the “more” link.

Now, here is another great trick you can use. Period lines will collapse the hashtags under them. That said, if you want to use a few popular hashtags and make them visible, you can do that and hide the rest anyway.

Add a few hashtags after your message. Then add the dots followed by the rest of the hashtags.

Hiding Hashtags in a Comment

Instagram has a limit of one hashtag per post (title). Bet you didn’t know you could break this limit using a simple hack. You can use a comment to break the hashtag limit. And even better, you can also hide your additional hashtags in the comment.

1. Write a comment.
2. Add five consecutive dots on individual lines.
3. Add hashtags.

The same method used to hide hashtags in titles can also be used for comments. You don’t even need to write anything in the comment. You can start with five dots and then add your extra hashtags.

How Many Hashtags Can You Use?

You can use up to 30 hashtags for subtitles. Although any limits may seem like a limiting factor to your potential success, fear not. Few popular posts actually reach this 30 hashtag limit. There’s a lot you can find relevant to your post and account activity.

There is no hashtag limit in comments. Therefore, you can use as much as you can fit within the character limit. On the other hand, you should always leave some room in your captions for new hashtags.

It’s best to leave a few spaces, as you can edit the captions and add new hashtags. Otherwise, the alternative would be to remove the old hashtags to make room for the new ones. To add new hashtags, you can edit your post like this:

1. Tap the three-dot icon.
2. Tap “Edit”.
3. Add new hashtags.
4. Tap “Done” on iOS devices and hit the checkmark on Android devices.
