Reasons why hashtags in Instagram do not work
Recently, a lot of users of Insta began to complain to tech support (on the pages of forums, profile communities, neighbors on the staircase, beloved cat) that Instagram already, they say, is not the one and promotion hashtagami it does not work. Having carefully studied the problem, we found out the reasons for the event and are ready to answer all the sufferers on the question of why the hashtags do not work in Instagram.
What is a hashtag?
Heshteg is a kind of search mark (anchor) in the form of a symbol # and a key phrase / word that characterizes the essence of the publication. The main purpose of this marker is the structuring of content by subject, assistance in the search distribution. By clicking (hashtag is an active link), you are moved to a selection of publications with this label. In other words, if you click on # seals, the search bot will search all # seals in Instagram. Hashtags are a lattice and any word combination or a set of alphanumeric characters in any language of the world. The main rule is not to use spaces.
How does the hashtag work? In Insta every minute hundreds of thousands of pictures are published and yours is one of them. Naturally, the photo will be lost in such a mass of content. Once you place the marker under the publication, it will automatically be assigned to a certain group of content that is different from the total mass of a certain characteristic.
Why can not a hashtag work?
As noted above, the tag is an active link that "throws" the user to the content that uses this label. Sometimes it happens that by entering the hashtag in the search line of the application, lovingly put in the comments under your publication, you do not find the photo in the issue. After such an injustice, one wonders why the bot does not see my markers, or all the hashtags in Instagram are not working now?
There are several reasons for what is happening. Let's consider each of them in more detail.
- Your page has got to the "sandbox". By analogy with young sites, a recently registered account usually does not cause trust. For the sake of fairness, let's say that in Inste the concept of "sandbox" is not advertised, perhaps there is no sandbox (or maybe there is). It is worthwhile to wait, showing activity. Sooner or later, your publications will be in the search distribution.
- Ban account (and hidden). For you, outwardly, nothing changes: you and your followers see your publications, and all the rest do not! Accordingly, about any new likes and subscribers in this situation is out of the question. If you violated the rules of the Instagram, or used a forbidden hashtag that is on the "black list" (it is included in the stop-lists), or you are a fan of the "strawberry" with a slight touch of BDSM, and other antics, do not be surprised that your the tags in the Instagram do not work.
- During the registration of the account you indicated the date of your birth, and you are not yet 13 years old. Here without comment. Rules of use Insta regulate the minimum age of users.
There is one more reason that your photo in Instagram does not get into search results. It happens if you do not have a Facebook account. This is not officially confirmed, the truth is not refuted. In many cases, Facebook registration helped many to activate their hashtags in Insta.
Correcting the situation
Consider everything in order. With the sandbox everything is clear, wait, hope and believe that justice will prevail and management will decide that you are not a bot created for spam and will return your markers the opportunity to influence the search distribution.
To permanently solve the problem with the account banner, you need:
- Delete all tags under the post, which is not displayed in the search distribution.
- Insert hashtags manually.
- Do not use the same comment under different publications.
Important! It is necessary to understand the difference between the restriction of user actions (hidden ban) and account blocking. In the latter case, the described measures will not help you: only the revision of the published content (read, behavior) and the new account will save you.
If the hashtagi ceased to work without reason, you did not have a Facebook page, then you should create it.
- register in the FB;
- go to setting up your account;
- click on the "Applications" tab, select Insta and the "edit" item;
- choose "Available to all";
- close the account in the FB and link your Instagram account to the page in Facebook. (options, setting up publications, Facebook).
For verification, create a post with a low-frequency (better unique) tag in Insta, share it in the FB and check if it appeared there. If so, then in the Instagram tags should earn.
Conclusion

There are several options: you have a young account that takes time to check loyalty, you are in a hidden ban, or you have not reached the age limit. Solve the problem simply, replace or delete all markers under adiosive content, edit the profile and link your Instagram page to the account in the FB.
