HubSpot contributor Rachel Nicholson has published an article featuring 41 Instagram features, hacks, & tips everyone should know about.

She says, “I’ve been in content marketing for about eight years, and I’ll tell you this golden nugget of truth for free: You can’t cheat your way to success in this game. And that’s especially true regarding marketing on a visual platform like Instagram.

However, I’m all for Instagram hacks that make account-building easier — especially since our 2025 State of Marketing Report revealed that 29% of marketers believe Instagram will see increased investment in 2025. (See where other Meta channels stack up in comparison.)

Whether you’re posting for business or pleasure, countless lesser-known features, settings, search options, and Instagram hacks can help take your Instagram game to the next level. And I’ve compiled them all here.”
