Instagram has made a change to the way in which that hashtags facilitate discovery within the app, with customers now related by way of to the broader search outcomes associated to a hashtag once they faucet on it, versus a “High Posts” feed.

As you possibly can see on this instance, now, if you faucet on a hashtag (on this case “#make-up”), you’ll see the complete search outcomes for that matter, as you’ll see in discover.

Which is a change from the “High Posts” show like this, which is what Instagram exhibits you if you faucet right into a tag at current:

As you possibly can see right here, you possibly can nonetheless comply with a subject through the tag web page, however you don’t have the complete outcomes (e.g. Accounts, Audio, Locations, Reels) that you’d get through an analogous search in Discover.

By offering entry to those extra components, Instagram’s hoping to enhance profile discovery, versus solely highlighting content material. It’ll additionally, ideally, develop consumer search behaviors, by linking them by way of to the assorted components.
