Instagram Limits Hashtags in Posts
Instagram is now restricting the number of hashtags users can add to their posts, limiting it to just five. This move aims to prevent spammers from targeting trending topics with excessive tags. It is unclear how effective this limit will be, as users can still add more tags in the first comment. The platform may also limit the discovery value of hashtags in comments, signaling a potential shift in the importance of manual tagging. Instagram has confirmed that the limit was a glitch and not a current feature under exploration.
