From Metricool we have analyzed 100K hashtags to find out which are the most popular on Instagram today.

These are the hashtags with the highest movement on Instagram, the ones that users use the most to accompany their publications.

After having analyzed the most used hashtags on Instagram, we have classified the top 300 according to their popularity and divided them by theme.

The 14 themes are pets, art, beauty, fitness, food, photography, humor, Instagram, lifestyle, fashion, nature, travel and music.

So pay attention and take note of those hashtags that interest you the most according to your content and the theme of your account.

Do Instagram Hashtags Still Work in 2024?

The short answer to this is yes. This has been argued for quite some time now, but in our expert opinion, hashtags are a great way to get your posts in front of more eyes.

Not just any hashtag will do though. Having a good hashtag strategy and knowledge will help you get the most out of hashtags. Using local hashtags will help you find your niche audience while mixing it with those trending ones as well.

Find the Most Popular Hashtags on Instagram with Metricool

Can you imagine being able to search for the most popular hashtags on Instagram when you go to publish your content?

If you are subscribed to a Metricool Premium plan, you will find the hashtag search engine function at your disposal. With it, you can search for the most relevant hashtags while scheduling your post and the number of publications that carry that hashtag: type a keyword related to the topic of your content, and Metricool will show you related hashtags and the most popular ones.  

This will help you determine whether or not it is convenient for you to add that hashtag to your post. Whether it’s necessary or it’s better to choose a different one.

How to Find the Most Used Hashtags on Instagram

If your theme goes beyond these categories or you want to find other hashtags for your content, I will give you a trick to find more hashtags on Instagram.

To do this from your account, go to the search option as if you were looking for an account. Click on the Search box and select the Tag option that is indicated in the lower menu.

For example, “yoga”. The most used hashtags will appear and you will have the data for how many posts the hashtag has been used.

Tap the one that interests you so you can carry out a more in-depth investigation about the hashtag chosen:

  • What are the most prominent publications that include this hashtag?
  • What are the most recent posts?

In this way, you can get the most used hashtags on Instagram related to your image to gain greater visibility.

How Many Hashtags to Use in Your Posts

Now that you have a good list of tags and labels for your publications, you may wonder which ones to choose.

Here are some good practices for using the most popular hashtags correctly:

✅ Don’t fill your post with hashtags if you don’t want to become a spammer. Copying and pasting the best hashtags in your images will not help you to do better. Use common sense. 

Keep in mind that Instagram does not allow you to use more than 30 hashtags per post and that there are some hashtags that can penalize your account.

 Use the hashtags that are really related to your brand or content. Avoid adding the hashtag #music on a photo showing a mac & cheese dish. Probably the hashtag #foodie is rather a better choice

✅ Like other content with a hashtag and interact. If you really want to get more likes or followers, don’t be selfish. The act of entering a hashtag and interacting with other publications will help you.

Analyze the Performance Of Your Hashtags

Hashtags are used to tag what you upload to the Instagram social network within a category. They are quite relevant if you want your publications to succeed, but for this, you need to learn how to use them correctly and measure whether they work for you or not.

If you use a hashtag properly you can:

  • Reach more followers or potential customers
  • Gain visibility within Instagram and your sector
  • Be able to become a featured publication

To know whether you meet your goals or not, you need to measure your performance so I am going to explain how you can do it with Metricool.

Below the analytics related to your account, you can access the metrics of your publications and the hashtags you use. You will obtain information such as:

  • The images you have used with each hashtag.
  • The average impressions of those publications
  • The total number of posts in which you have added that tag
  • The average number of likes in the publications which you have used the tag
  • And the average comments you have had on the photos tagged with each hashtag

With this table, you can get very valuable information. Sort it by the metric that interests you the most and find out whether the hashtags you’ve used are meeting your goals or you need to change them.

To try it you only have to register to Metricool for free:
