How do you find top hashtags on Twitter?

Trends are available on the Twitter for iOS app, the Twitter for Android app, and twitter.com.

On Twitter's mobile apps, you can find Trends listed under the Trends section of theExploretab when signed in to twitter.com on a desktop or laptop computer, Trends are listed in many places, including the Home timeline, Notifications, search results, and profile pages.

Trends are determined by an algorithm and, by default, are tailored for you based on who you follow, your interests, and your location. This algorithm identifies topics that are popular now, rather than topics that have been popular for a while or on a daily basis, to help you discover the hottest emerging topics of discussion on Twitter.

You can choose to see Trends that are not tailored for you by selecting a specific Trends location on twitter.com, iOS, or Android (instructions below). Location Trends identify popular topics among people in a specific geographic location.

Note:The number of Tweets that are related to the Trends is just one of the factors the algorithm looks at when ranking and determining trends. Algorithmically, Trends and hashtags are grouped together if they are related to the same topic. For instance, #MondayMotivation and #MotivationMonday may both be represented by #MondayMotivation.

You may notice that some trends have # sign before the word or phrase. This is called ahashtagand is included specifically in Tweets to mark them as relating to a topic, so that people can follow the conversation in search.

Yes. We want Trends to promote healthy conversations on Twitter. This means that at times, we may not allow or may temporarily prevent content from appearing in Trends until more context is available. This includes Trends that:

• Violates theTwitter Rules.
• Contains profanity or adult/graphic references.
• Targets the privacy of victims of serious crimes and of minors, who are private figures.

In some cases, we may also consider the newsworthiness of the content, or if it is in the public interest when evaluating potential violations. In these cases, the content might continue to trend on our platform.

Please note that even if we prevent a hashtag or content from appearing in Trending topics, conversations around that content will still be accessible on Twitter, but those terms will not be in the Trending topics section.

In the U.S., as part of our work to protect the integrity of the conversation around the 2020 U.S. election, we have expanded our efforts to add context and review trends for violations. Read morehere.

We manually monitor Trends and work to add context to help answer the question, "Why is this trending?" We do this through attaching a representative Tweet to the Trend, adding a headline and description, or curating a landing page to give more direct context. We may also add a combination of these.

Below some Trends you may also see the approximate number of Tweets associated with the Trend, or personalized context such as who in your network is Tweeting about the Trend.

Above some Trends you may see a category such as Politics, Music, or Entertainment. This is automatically selected based on what the Tweets in the Trend are about.

Certain Trends will have an article automatically attached based on the conversation around the Trend.

Below some Trends, you may see the approximate number of Tweets associated with the Trend, or personalized context such as who in your network is Tweeting about it.

Additionally, when a Moment is found to be relevant to a Trend, we may use the title of the Moment as the Trends description.
