Instagram tests functionality that hides message hashtags

Instagram's hashtags system is an effective way to advertise posts between different interest groups, but sometimes it becomes embarrassing how many words are used. Even without a usage limit, Instagram is testing a new way to add hashtags without them appearing in shared messages, but continues to pack them into their communities.The new system makes the messages cleaner, and above all, it gives more privacy to the users, with respect to the connected groups. In a message on her Twitter account(twitter.com/wongmjane.com), producer Jane Manchun Wong shared an image of the feature, stuffing certain hashtags that later did not appear in the Instagram post. When you type a word, a list of suggestions that you can select appears, replacing the search "autofill" system.Another feature shown concerns the geographical limitation of messages. If you want, you can limit the countries that view the posts, especially useful for companies that want to focus their marketing campaigns.
