How to Like by Hashtag to Grow Your Profile with Highly Qualified Audiences

The Like by Hashtag feature of IGAutomate is one of the most organic and effective ways to attract new followers on Instagram. It allows you to find the most recent posts under any hashtag, like them in a completely humanized way, and list the authors to build a highly targeted audience.

By liking a photo of someone who has just posted using a hashtag in your niche, your profile immediately shows up on their notification screen with a red heart ❤️. This sparks curiosity and leads to highly qualified profile visits.

All automation runs locally within your own browser, simulating real clicks and human movement, keeping your account completely safe.

Multiply Your Results with the Double-Impact Strategy

The biggest advantage of IGAutomate is its seamless feature integration. When you run Like by Hashtag, the extension not only leaves a red heart on your target audience's posts, but also compiles a clean, organized list of all those profiles on your screen. By clicking the pink "Start Following from List" button (as shown in Step 3), you trigger the second touchpoint: the bot will start following each of these users sequentially with safe delays. Receiving both a like AND a follow from your profile nearly doubles the new follower conversion rate!
