Follow Hashtags On IG Is Now History!

Follow Hashtags On IG Is Now History

Are you the one who is always keen to follow hashtags on IG? Well, this might disappoint you as IG is removing the option to follow hashtags.

See the notification below, Instagram is removing the option to follow tags, while any topics that you already follow will no longer display posts and Reels in your feed.

Why is Meta removing follow hashtags on IG?

Well, as noted, spammers have long targeted trending hashtags with junk, adding irrelevant tags to their crappy posts in order to get more reach. There’s not really any way around this, and while Instagram does have some fairly advanced tools to filter out junk, it seems that a lot of users are still seeing a lot of irrelevant posts coming into their streams.

So, from December 13th, 2024, you won’t be able to follow hashtags anymore.

To be clear, hashtags are still relevant on IG, and are still used to help connect users with relevant content. But they’re less relevant than they once were, and seem to be steadily losing value over time.
