A hashtag is a social media term denoted by the symbol #. Hashtags categorize content on social media platforms such as Twitter and Instagram. They are meant to find content related to a specific topic. Hashtags are a way to organize content and make it easier for others to find what they are looking for. When you use a hashtag, it becomes a clickable link that takes you to all the other content tagged with that hashtag. It is a great way to connect with others interested in the same things as you and find new content to enjoy.

To use a hashtag, include the “#” symbol followed by the keyword or phrase you want to tag.

Example

For example, if you are interested in finding content about cats, you might search for the hashtag #cats.
