Proper use of hashtags is perhaps the only (although quite time-consuming) way to gain real followers. It is thanks to these notes that users find interesting publications on various topics. And in order for your photos to be seen by thousands of people from all over the world, it is best to use the most popular hashtags on Instagram.
For convenience, we have divided the entire list into thematic categories. What are the most popular hashtags on Instagram? The list is below.
Promo: subscriptions, likes, comments
In Instagram, the exchange "subscription for subscription", "like for like", etc. is very popular. That is why there are always tags like:in the top
- follow, follow4follow (f2f);
- like4like (l4l);
- comment4comment (c4c);
- 100likes;
- mutual likes;
- like;
- like each other;
- subscribe;
- comments;
- write.

Of course, you can't get especially active subscribers this way, because these people will go to your account only for the sake of mutual subscriptions. On the other hand, your account will gradually become more and more popular.
Universal
Some tags can be published under absolutely any pictures. They have a neutral color, so hundreds of thousands of photos with similar captions appear on the network every hour:
- instagram (instagram);
- top (top);
- life (life);
- hot (super);
- cool (cool);
- photo (photo);
- hello (hello);
- beauty (beauty).
Probably the most popular hashtags on Instagram. Moreover, users who follow them are no longer just counting on the exchange of likes, but are looking for something beautiful and interesting.
Mood
Any photo, one way or another, carries a certain emotional charge. Share your mood - and just watch how the number of likes and subscribers increases every minute:
- happy (happiness);
- smile (smile);
- goodmood, feelgood (good mood);
- funny (funny, fun);
- joy (joy);
- love (love);
- sad (sad);
- alone (loneliness);
- mood (mood);
- hate (hate).

As you understand, there are hundreds of options. The main thing is to choose the words that most accurately convey the atmosphere of a particular post.
Cities and countries
These may not be the most popular hashtags on Instagram in terms of the number of posts, but just by indicating where you are now, you can collect hundreds of likes. Especially if we are talking about some famous place or a major metropolis.
- russia (russia);
- moscow (Moscow);
- kremlin (Kremlin);
- france (france);
- rome (rome);
- travel (travel).

Besides this, it is worth adding marks on the map - in this case, all users who are nearby can also see you.
Family
Everyone wants to share their happiness, the warmest and most joyful memories. Therefore, it is not surprising that many of the most popular hashtags on Instagram are related to family and children:
- kids (children);
- child (child);
- family (family);
- home (home);
- wedding (wedding);
- brother, sister (brother, sister).

These tags are often accompanied by words like "happiness", "forever", etc. They are quite popular, as many people want to see how others live.
Holiday and New Year's hashtags on Instagram
Almost before everyholiday in Instagram begins a real boom - users post thousands of photos and videos with thematic captions:
- christmas (christmas);
- happynewyear (happynewyear);
- halloween (Halloween);
- valentineday

Separately, it is worth noting the New Year's hashtags on Instagram. To get the maximum number of views, it is recommended to add a specific year to them (for example, newyear2017 or tree2018). Hashtags like hello2017 (hello2017) and goodbye2016 (goodbye2016) are also commonly used.
General tags like party (party), holiday (holiday) are also quite popular. And of course, the eternal happybirthday (birthday).
Love
Very popular hashtags on Instagram. A list of signatures related to love and relationships would take more than one page. Here are just a few:
- love (love);
- couple (pair);
- girlfriend, boyfriend (girl, boyfriend);
- together (together);
- lovehim, loveher (lovehim, loveher);
- romance (romance);
- kiss (kiss);
- hugs (hugs).
You can increase the number of views by adding a few mood hashtags like happiness or tenderness.
Good morning
Have you ever woken up with such a wonderful mood that you want to shout it to the whole world? If yes, then that's great. After all, the most popular hashtags in"Instagram" (more precisely, one of them) are warm wishes to subscribers:
- goodmorning (good morning);
- wakeup (wake up);
- haveaniceday (haveaniceday);
- goodnight (goodnight), etc.

Such captions can be combined with mood tags or tell followers about what you are doing - for example, take a photo of a delicious breakfast (breakfast).
Weather
English and Russian hashtags on Instagram are also always relevant, related to the outside world, and in particular to the weather outside the window:
- sunny (sunny);
- rain (rain);
- snow (snow);
- cold (cold).
All tags related to the seasons (winter, spring), as well as the time of day (morning, night, sunset, etc.) can be included in the same category. Just look outside and you'll find at least a dozen caption ideas for new posts.
