Twitter/X automatically shortens all external web links to 23 characters regardless of their original length using the t.co domain.
How many hashtags should I include on Instagram? ▼
Instagram allows up to 30 hashtags per post, though engagement research recommends 3 to 5 targeted, highly relevant tags for maximum reach.
