How to hide hashtags on Instagram

Using too many hashtags can make you look a little desperate. But does this mean that there are no tricks you can use to reach a wide audience without your subtitles looking like amateurs?

The short answer to that question is no. But this article will show you how to hide hashtags on Instagram, as well as answer some other important questions related to Instagram posts you may have. Prepare to arm yourself with important Instagram publishing skills.

The two main reasons to hide hashtags on Instagram

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

1. Clean your Instagram subtitles, which in turn makes your post look more professional and eye-catching.
2. Divert the focus of the extensive hashtags list to the actual content in your subtitle. A great way to make people really read what you have to share.

how to hide hashtags on Instagram in subtitles

You can hide subtitles using the five-point method. Is that how it works:

1. Write a subtitle post.
2. Five periods in a row, one per line.
3. Add your hashtags.

This essentially causes the hashtags list to collapse. But are they really hidden? - Only from direct view. If your followers want to see their hashtags, they can reveal the list by clicking on the "more" link.

Now, here is another great trick you can use. Period lines will collapse hashtags written below them. This means that if you want to use some very popular hashtags and have them visible, you can do it and still hide the rest.

Simply add some hashtags after your message. Then add the points, and then the rest of the hashtags.

how to hide hashtags in a comment

Instagram has a hashtag limit per post (subtitle). I bet you didn't know you can overcome that limit using a simple trick. You can use a comment to avoid the hashtag limit. And, even better, you can also hide your additional hashtags within the comment.

1. Write a comment.
2. Add five periods in a row on individual lines.
3. Add the hashtags.

The same method to hide hashtags in subtitles can be used for comments. You don't even need to write anything in the comment. You can simply start with the five points and then add your additional hashtags.

How many hashtags can you use?

For subtitles, you can use a maximum of 30 hashtags. Although any limit may seem a limiting factor for your potential success, don't fear. Very few popular publications really reach that limit of 30 hashtags. There is only one amount that can reach what is relevant to your publication and your account activity.

Comments do not have a hashtag limit. Therefore, you can use as many as you can within the character limit. On the other hand, you should always leave some space in your subtitles for new hashtags.

As you can edit subtitles and add new hashtags, it is better if you leave some openings. Otherwise, the alternative would be to eliminate old hashtags to make room for new ones. This is how you can edit your post to add new hashtags:

1. Touch the three-point icon.
2. Touch "Edit."
3. Add new hashtags.
4. Touch «Done» on iOS devices and press the checkmark on Android devices.
