   We're going to type in a hashtag that we're interested in

   .

   In this example, we're going to type in "clouds". We need to tap on the white button with a black arrow inside of it. This is the search button. We can search hashtags to find photos that are related to a specific subject. People use hashtags so that all of the photos are grouped together and therefore we can view them as one big group instead of looking at individual profiles.
