How To Hide Hashtags On Instagram

Hashtags & Caption spaces are back! (Late Oct 2015)

Instagram has finally brought back the caption & comment formatting that allows you to hide hashtags and use caption spaces (line breaks) in the latest update! You no longer have to have all those pesky (but necessary) hashtags displayed under your photo!

Hiding Hashtags

If you used to hide hashtags before, you know the drill. You basically add enough line breaks to your comment that it forces Instagram to hide that comment because it's too long. It compresses that specific comment (where your hashtags will be) into what looks like this: [...]

Example:

It's pretty easy to do:

1. Use a text editor to save all your hashtags in one paragraph. I use Notes on iOS.

2. Add 5 dots, with each dot on a seperate line. Make sure each dot is on a seperate line. See example below.

3. Add all your hashtags below the last (5th) dot. The hashtags should sit on a new line below the last dot.

4. Copy & paste all the dots along with the hashtags into a comment on your photo.

PLEASE NOTE: The 5 dots must all be on a seperate line. You must copy and paste it into a COMMENT of your photo - NOT THE CAPTION.

The caption of the photo is the place where you write before you post the photo. It sits directly under the photo. DO NOT copy and paste your hashtags there. Paste it into a new comment AFTER you have posted the photo.

Caption Spaces (Line Breaks)

This one is easy, but just incase you don't know:

1. In the caption of your photo, hit the 123 button on the bottom left of your keyboard. The keyboard set will change.

2. A return button will appear on the bottom right of the new keyboard set. Use the return button to add caption spaces (line breaks).

That's all there is to it. Hopefully this info will help you clean up the appearance of your Instagram feed.

Thank you! Jan 23, 2025 Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra Camera & Photo Samples Jan 23, 2025

Photography samples

Hi friends! I present to you my hands on & first impressions of the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra (and sample photos to match). Please check out my YouTube video above if you haven’t already. Pretty excited about this update. Samsung have updated the ultra-wide 0.6x lens to it’s 50MP sensor with an improved aperture of f/1.9 which should help with resolution, sharpness and low light performance quite a bit.

Tap on through to see all the samples!

Jan 23, 2025 Jun 24, 2024 3 days in Mt Fuji Jun 24, 2024

Friends! I got some photos (and a vlog) for you from a weeked trip away to Mt Fuji. We head to Mt Fuji for the weekend to chase some Autumn colours (with Fooj in the back obviously). If you have never been to Mt Fuji, be warned that depending on the time of year, it might not always be visible. It is kind of crazy thinking about how huge the mountain is and how it can just hide from you so easily in the clouds. I was once told by a tour guide that Mt Fuji is female because she likes to hide from you and will only appear if you are nice. Click through for more word and some photos to match.

Come with me as I solo road trip from Queenstown to Milford Sound and back. I stayed at an epic Airbnb in Queenstown and finally shot a full night (10 hour) astro photography sequence. I am also pretty sure I caught Venus, Mars AND a meteor shower in the astrolapse. I also do the epic drive to Milford Sound TWICE in two very wildly different conditions. Watch here:
