Below are some of the most popular Instagram tags that I have seen using people heavily. Most of them are variations of the word ‘Instagram’ itself like ig, insta etc…

So here are some of the most popular Instagram tags you should use while posting on Instagram:

Instagram based: #igers #igaddict #ignation #insta #instago #instagood #instadaily #instagrammers #instahub #instagroove #instafood #igersoftheday

Pictures of the day: #picoftheday #bestoftheday #photooftheday

General: #shoutout #awesome #design #photography #streetphotography #androidography

Also if you have been following some active Instagram users, you would have noticed that generally the theme of your image automatically dictates what tag you should be using.

However there are some popular Instagram tags that we don’t know who created and how they became so popular. So it is always better to learn about them and use while sharing photos on Instagram.

Start your own Instagram Tag

You may actually start your own Instagram Tag if you want. Just start using it in your photos on Instagram and ask others to add to their photos. This is a great way to collect photos on a particular subject.

For example, I use #techacker tag on my photos and the photos I like on Instagram to collect everything in one place.

I have seen people using tags to invite users to submit photos on a topic occasionally, e.g. use #INK361 to submit photos to various contest run by Ink361.com.

There are many other creative ways Instagram tags can be used.
