With all social networks, the trending topics and hashtags change everyday. When it comes to the top ten hashtags, those are less likely to change because they are common themes that users post about. The first one is love, which can be related to almost any image posted on Instagram. Second is instagood, which is a hashtag users created to highlight good photos on the app. Photooftheday comes next and it is another user generated hashtag to gain traction to the best photos.
Fashion is a popular topic on Instagram because photos are the best way to show fashion off. Beautiful, Happy, Cute all come next and they are popular generic terms to use. TBT stands for Throwback Thursday, which is a popular day on Instagram to showcase older photos. Like4Like and Follow Me are popular requests and hashtags to gain user engagement.

The popular Instagram hashtags may change from time to time, but there are also some that will always be popular such as #love. There are just so many things that people would like to post about love. Whether they would like to post about romantic love or other types of love, love will always be a hashtag that people would like to use.
The other popular hashtags right now are the following:#yoga, #running, #fashionista, #instamakeup, #instagood, #photooftheday, #cute #trendy #beautiful. There are also a few people who would like to reach more people who would probably place as many hashtags as they can. In case you do not want to look like you have a spam account, sticking to about 5 to 6 will already be okay.
