Hashtags are one of the best ways to get your posts seen on Instagram by people who don’t follow you. But use the wrong hashtag in your post and no one will see it.

On this page, you’ll find the latest hashtags that are currently banned on Instagram so you can avoid using them! Each hashtag is linked to the hashtag page so you can double check if it is still banned (sometimes hashtags are banned for a short period of time)

If a hashtag is banned, when you view it in a browser, it will say at the bottom of the page (If you check in the Instagram app, this message will appear at the top of the page)

Recent posts from # (hashtag) are currently hidden because the community has reported some content that may not meet Instagram’s community guidelines. Learn more

If you come across any hashtags that you think should be added to the list, submit it in the form below.
