How to View Private and Archived Hashtags on Instagram

Private and archived hashtags on Instagram cannot be seen directly in the search or explore tabs. However, there are a few workarounds to view these hidden hashtags.

Method 1: Use Hashtag Finder Tools

There are several hashtag finder tools that can display private, unverified and archived Instagram hashtags. Simply search for “Instagram hashtag finder” and try out different tools. Enter the topic you want to find hashtags for and the tools will show you relevant hashtags, including hidden ones.

Method 2: Search Hashtags Within Posts

You can find private hashtags by searching for them within Instagram posts. Go to the search bar and type the potential hashtag you want to find (with the # symbol) . Then, go to the “Posts” tab. You will see public posts with that hashtag, even if the hashtag itself is private.

Method 3: Ask Other Users for Hidden Hashtags

Reach out to influencers, businesses and users in your niche on Instagram and politely ask them to share any relevant hashtags they are using. Chances are good some of the hashtags they mention will be hidden ones.

Method 4: Compile a List Yourself

The best way to ensure access to private hashtags is to make your own list. Brainstorm keywords related to your niche and create hashtag variants from those words. Then, search for and archive posts with those hashtags you created, even if they initially show zero results. Over time, as more people use your self-made hashtags, you will have access to them before they become hidden.
