How TikTok Hashtags Work in 2026
Hashtags on TikTok serve as a categorization system that helps the algorithm understand and distribute your content. Using the right hashtags can significantly increase your video's discoverability and help you reach your target audience.
How Many Hashtags Should You Use?
Research shows that 3-5 hashtags is the optimal number for TikTok videos:
- •1-2 hashtags: May limit discoverability
- •3-5 hashtags: Optimal for reach and targeting
- •6+ hashtags: Diminishing returns, can look spammy
Finding Niche Hashtags for Your Content
While broad hashtags like #fyp have massive reach, they're also extremely competitive. The key is to balance broad reach tags with niche-specific hashtags:
- •Research competitors: See what hashtags successful creators in your niche use
- •Check hashtag pages: Look at the content and engagement on hashtag pages
- •Use our tool: Analyze hashtag performance data to find hidden gems
Hashtag Mistakes That Kill Your Reach
Avoid these common hashtag mistakes that can hurt your TikTok performance:

- •Copying the same tags: Vary your hashtags based on each video's content
- •Ignoring niche tags: Don't rely solely on #fyp and #viral
Frequently Asked Questions
How many hashtags should I use on TikTok?
For optimal reach, use 3-5 hashtags per video. This gives you a good balance of broad reach and targeted discoverability without looking spammy.
Does #fyp actually work?
While #fyp won't guarantee your video appears on the For You Page, it does help categorize your content. Combine it with niche-specific hashtags for best results.
Should I use trending or niche hashtags?
Use both! A mix of trending (high reach) and niche (targeted audience) hashtags gives you the best chance of reaching the right viewers.
Do hashtags go in the caption or comments?
Put hashtags in your caption, not comments. TikTok's algorithm reads hashtags from the caption when categorizing and distributing your video.
How do I find trending hashtags?
Check TikTok's Discover page, use our hashtag analyzer tool, or install our Chrome extension to see real-time hashtag performance data.
Can hashtags hurt my reach?
