I have created this guide to answer that question. I will discuss the mechanics of how Snapchat hashtags work, how many views they may generate, and how to maximize viewers. 

This article contains value ranging from insights on Spotlight to actionable steps to help you understand Snapchat’s algorithm, troubleshoot common challenges, and how to expand your audience. Whether wanting to go viral or build a community, the tips here will illuminate your snaps.

Why Snapchat Hashtags Matter

Hashtags on Snapchat categorize and group your snaps and stories. They also were introduced to help users find your content when they are also searching for similar content, especially on Spotlight, which allows users to see lots of content, improving your chances of getting views. 

Snapchat hashtags help the algorithm show your content to users interested in your content for more reach if used appropriately. Snapchat’s hashtag feature is subtle when compared to other platforms, but they can be effective in helping you gain visibility and engagement. 

Who Uses Snapchat Hashtags?

Snapchat hashtags attract marketers, brands, influencers, and casual users aiming to grow their reach, each facing unique challenges and goals.
