Instagram may be preparing a limit of three hashtags per post | Infinium-tech
Instagram is doing something weird with hashtags. As more and more people try to add more than three hashtags to a post, they start getting noticed. That notice basically says you can only use three hashtags per post.
This new limit has not been officially announced by Instagram, and it seems that it is not for everyone yet, so this is either a new ‘feature’ that is coming soon and is in the process of being gradually implemented for all accounts on the service, or it is just a test that is only running for a limited number of users, and depending on the results the company is looking for, it may or may not become the new law of the land in the future.
Either way, if you like to spam all your posts with dozens of different hashtags, or remember good old days Back when hashtags were a way to find interesting accounts (back when Instagram was all about image sharing and not ads and influencer marketing), it looks like it’s all about to end.
Since this hasn’t been announced by Instagram, we can’t really tell you what the official reasoning is – perhaps the company feels it has to fight hashtag spam? If we know more we will let you know.
