Best Gender Reveal Hashtags by Platform (2026)
The right hashtags can dramatically increase your gender reveal's reach. But each platform works differently—what works on Instagram might flop on TikTok.
Here are curated, copy-paste ready hashtag lists organized by platform and content type.
How Hashtags Work by Platform
Before the lists, understand how each platform treats hashtags:
TikTok
- •Algorithm-driven discovery (hashtags help but aren't everything)
- •Trending hashtags get boosted
- •3-5 hashtags is typically enough
- •Niche hashtags can outperform broad ones
- •Hashtags still matter for discovery
- •Mix of broad and niche works best
- •5-15 hashtags recommended (not 30)
- •Put them in caption, not comments
YouTube
- •Hashtags appear above title (first 3 show)
- •Use in description for searchability
- •Fewer hashtags, more strategic
- •Tags (different from hashtags) also matter

Hashtags to Avoid
Overused/Spam-Associated
#follow #followme #like4like #instagood #photooftheday
These look spammy and don't help discovery for pregnancy content.
Irrelevant Trending
Don't use random trending hashtags that have nothing to do with your content. Algorithms can recognize this and may reduce reach.
Banned/Restricted
Some hashtags get restricted due to misuse. Check if a hashtag is working by clicking it—if it shows limited results or warnings, avoid it.
Platform-Specific Tips
TikTok Strategy
- •Check trending hashtags daily. If there's a trending sound or challenge that fits, use its hashtag.
- •Use niche hashtags. #pregnancytiktok might reach more of the right people than #fyp.
- •Don't overdo it. 4-6 hashtags is plenty. More looks spammy.
- •First hashtag matters most. Put your most relevant one first.
Instagram Strategy
- •Mix broad and niche. #genderreveal (broad) + #genderreveal2026 (specific).
- •Research hashtag sizes. Use some with 100K posts and some with 1M+ posts.
- •Put hashtags in caption. Not in comments—that's outdated advice.
- •Rotate hashtag sets. Don't use the exact same hashtags on every post.
YouTube Strategy
- •First 3 hashtags show above title. Make them count.
- •Use tags AND hashtags. They serve different purposes.
- •Include long-tail keywords. "gender reveal 2026" not just "gender reveal"
- •Add to description naturally. Don't just dump a hashtag block.
