Threads, which Instagram released in the summer months as a competitor to X (Twitter), increased the number of users by introducing new features every day. We have previously seen that the platform offers features such as free post editing, GIF and survey sharing.

Instagram President Adam Mosseri has announced another highly requested feature coming to Threads. Now called “tags” on the platform, tagging (hashtag) It has a function.

Special characters and spaces can be used in Threads hashtags

Threads hashtags are slightly different from the hashtags we see on other platforms. When users create posts You can add tags using the “#” symbol. But it won’t be limited to just one word. Instead of phrases you will be able to write. There are no other restrictions either. On labels can use special characters, even spaces It can even be omitted.

However, tags can be a maximum of one for each post. In other words, the message you are about to share you cannot add more than one tag. Therefore, the platform recommends that users use the hashtag that best represents what they are sharing.

Threads’ new feature serves the same purpose as other apps’ hashtags. Mosseri says tags are a good way to communicate with other people, adding that this way they can more easily reach people interested in similar topics.
