Instagram's Most Popular Tags of 2022

Hashtags on Instagram are used to categorize and organize content and make it more discoverable to other users. When a user adds a hashtag to their post, it becomes connected to all other posts that use the same hashtag. This allows other users to easily find and view all the posts that are associated with a particular topic or theme.

Instagram announced this year's most used tags. Among the most used tags, it seems that users are more into social events and follow them more frequently. The tags 'Mahsa Amini', who was killed in Iran by the morality police because she refused to wear a headscarf, and support for 'Ukraine' are among the most frequently used of the year.

The popular social media platform Instagram has shared its most frequently used tags.

It felt like the year 2022 would be a little eventful with the end of the pandemic. However, the Russian invasion of Ukraine in the first months of the year and the unpleasant events that came after it also affected Instagram users. In 2022, users mostly preferred tags related to social events.

By using relevant hashtags, users can increase the visibility of their posts to a wider audience and potentially gain more likes and followers.

For example, if a user posts a photo of a delicious meal they made and includes the hashtag #foodie, other users who are interested in food-related content may come across the post while searching or browsing through the #foodie hashtag.

Hashtags can also be used to participate in online challenges or campaigns, join in on conversations about current events, or connect with like-minded individuals.
