You can also use sites like urlebird, that track new hashtags being used.

How many hashtags should you use on TikTok?

Due to the character limit for TikTok’s captions, you should bear that in mind when picking which hashtags to use, and how many. There’s no strict rule about how many hashtags you should use, but the general recommendation seems to be about five. You can always adjust your caption length to allow for more space too.

The above suggestions are only some of the many thousands of hashtags you can find on TikTok, but as some of the most popular, they should help give your videos a good boost. If you want to find out how to get more followers, check out this guide.
