TikTok Hashtags
Most popular #tiktok hashtags for Instagram, TikTok and YouTube Shorts. Select any tags and copy them.
Quick answer: On TikTok, hashtags are one of several details, along with captions, sounds and on-screen text, that help the app understand a video and match it to viewers and searches. TikTok has not said #fyp or #foryou boosts distribution. Use a few specific topic tags, write a searchable caption, and trim to 5 tags when cross-posting to Instagram.

About #tiktok content
TikTok's For You feed is driven by how viewers interact with videos: watching to the end, rewatching, sharing, commenting. TikTok has explained that video information such as captions, sounds and hashtags also plays a part, and TikTok describes signals like watching a video to the end as especially strong.
That puts #fyp, #foryou and #foryoupage in perspective. They are on a huge share of videos, which means they cannot tell TikTok who your video is for. Topic tags can. So can the words you say and show: many people now use TikTok like a search engine, typing "easy lunch ideas" or "how to fix a leaky tap."
TikTok does not set the tight 5-tag cap Instagram does, but long tag lists eat into captions and add little. The TikTok sets below stay short and specific; the Instagram sets show how to adapt the same video when you cross-post it as a Reel.
Tips for tagging TikTok posts
- Say and show your keywords. Put the main phrase in the caption and on screen, and say it early in the video, so the video matches what people search.
- Check TikTok search suggestions for tag ideas: type your topic and look at the autocomplete phrases, then tag the ones that fit. Our TikTok hashtags guide covers this in detail.
- Cross-post without the watermark. Instagram has said it may limit recommendations for content with other apps' watermarks, so export the original file before reposting as a Reel.
- When you move a video to Instagram, cut the tags to five; see how many hashtags Instagram allows and grab format ideas from Reels hashtags.
Hashtags to avoid
| Hashtag | Why skip it |
|---|---|
#foryoupage | TikTok has not said it affects distribution, and it tells the app nothing about your video. |
#xyzbca | A random string people add hoping for reach; it describes nothing and looks spammy. |
#fypage | One of many #fyp spin-offs; it adds no topic signal and crowds out useful tags. |
#followforfollow | Engagement-bait tag that attracts spam accounts on any platform. |

#tiktok hashtag FAQs
Does #fyp actually work on TikTok?
There is no public confirmation from TikTok that #fyp or #foryou increases reach. Videos are recommended based on viewer interactions and details like captions, sounds and hashtags, so topic tags are a better use of space.
How many hashtags should I use on TikTok?
TikTok does not require a specific number, but a few relevant tags are enough. Long lists crowd your caption and do not add useful signals.
Can I use the same hashtags on TikTok and Instagram?
Topic tags often carry over, but platform-specific tags (#fyp, #learnontiktok, #tiktokmademebuyit) do not belong on Instagram. Instagram also limits posts to five hashtags.
