Top Nine is both an app, and an Instagram trend. The Top Nine app is a tool that we created to help you generate a collage featuring your Top Nine Instagram photos of the year. The app went viral and grew into a trend where every year millions of Instagram users, influencers, and celebrities share their Best Nine Instagram moments of the year using the Top Nine app.
The Top Nine trend was created by a team of engineers, marketers, and designers building awesome tools and apps for social media. You can learn more about who is behind Top Nine on our About Us page.
Your Top Nine Instagram posts selected by the Top Nine app are not only the most-liked Instagram photos. We believe that your Top Nine Instagram posts should represent your best 9 moments of 2022, and those are not just selected based on the number of likes they have. There's a very complex algorithm in place to select these. In fact, that’s what makes Top Nine unique :)
The algorithm selects your Top Nine Instagram posts based on a number of factors: number of likes, comments, among others.
You can read more about how the Top Nine algorithm works following this link..
Top Nine is developed and maintained by a team with years of experience building tools and apps used by millions of users. Your data and Instagram account are safe, and we never gain access to your Instagram password because the authentication process happens on Instagram.com itself. You can read more about security and privacy using Top Nine following this link.
In certain cases, like when your account is private, we may ask you to sign in to Instagram to provide us with read-only access to see your Instagram posts. This sign up process happens on Instagram.com, meaning we don't have access to perform any other action than "reading" your Instagram posts. We don't have access to any settings, messages, or any other part of your Instagram account.
User privacy is super important to us. We never use your email address other than to make sure you get the best out of Top Nine. Top Nine is used by millions during December, which can cause some service delays.
This means you may have to wait a few seconds for your Top Nine to be generated. However, entering your email enables us to deliver it to your inbox as soon as it's ready, so you don't have to wait on the app. Receiving this notification is just one use case, but most importantly, your email is our way to provide support to your account, in case you run into any issues. You can read about how we use your email and more about how we handle your data on our Privacy Policy.
Apps named "Best Nine for Instagram" are not provided by us. Many clones that claim to be Top Nine or similar services are currently available on the App Store. We receive messages from people explaining that they used our app when they've actually used an app called Best Nine or a Top Nine clone.
We understand this confusion as Top and Best are used as synonyms in many articles, but the name of our app is "Top Nine", and it's only available on topnine.co, topnine.app, and our official mobile apps linked from our official websites.
If you use a different Top Nine app, the selection of the 9 photos will be different, and more importantly, we can only ensure the security of your account if you use our app.
Top Nine is the original app that started the Top Nine Instagram trend, and the one trusted by millions of Instagram users, influencers, and celebrities. That’s the reason why every year it gets to the #1 spot of the App Store in most countries, including United States . Also, the Top Nine algorithm, together with our commitment to data privacy and security , is what makes us be trusted by each of those millions of users. This enables us to continue building more creative ways to re-live and share those best moments of your year in new formats, building new tools for creators year after year.
Find your Top Nine!
Used by celebrities and influencers, even by Kylie Jenner since 2018! Sharing your #TopNine has become the best way to rediscover your best nine Instagram moments from 2022.

How to find, generate and post your Instagram Top 9
Yes, you can technically turn off your Instagram likes – but isn't it just more fun to know exactly how many likes your photos get?
If you want to bask in the vanity of your Instagram's best-performing posts, you can get a neat little report of your top nine most liked posts, delivered in an aesthetically pleasing square collage.
Usually it’s customary to check on your best posts at the end of the year, but we say why not do it whenever you want? In the olden days, people used to screenshot this report and post it to their actual grids. These days, that’s unheard of, but there's no shame in posting your Top Nine to Instagram Stories. Here’s how you can get in on the action.
1. Pick a website
There are two main services that’ll pull your nine most-liked posts together for you: Top Nine and Best Nine. They’re very similar to each other, but there are a couple of key differences.
Top Nine functions as both a website and an app. If you choose the app route, you can actually opt out of handing over your email address in the process, whereas the desktop version doesn't allow this. It can also search both private and public accounts. Best Nine doesn’t ask for an email at all, but it does seem to run quite a bit slower than Top Nine, and it can only search public accounts. Both promise not to sell your data to any third parties within their privacy policies.
2. Input your handle
Like I mentioned earlier, the different apps will ask for different things, but your handle is essential information. Earlier in 2021, we found Top Nine was rerouting us to the 2020 edition (now part of CreatorKit, which houses video and design tools for social media) from the main website if you’re using the browser version, but as of the end of December, it seems to be working better. Still, make sure you’re in the right place — especially if your 2020 and 2021 top posts are all an unnervingly similar mix of your cat, your baking projects, and masked selfies.

3. Literally just wait
The sites will do the work for you, it’s just a matter of how long you want to wait. Top Nine’s browser version told me to download the app for the process to take just "seconds, rather than minutes," but since I gave it my email, it actually also emailed my top nine to me upon completion, so I didn’t have to sit on the site.
Best Nine’s disclaimer warned me it could take up to 10 minutes, but from personal experience, it seems to take even longer. I have no patience, so I will personally be skedaddling right on over to Top Nine.
4. Brag
Obviously, we’re not just doing this to gather metrics. We’re doing this to show off. Top Nine’s built-in share button will generate rectangular Instagram Story and square regular post templates for you featuring your personal top nine, which is really nice for aesthetic purposes. It’s easy to save to your Camera Roll and upload via Instagram the way you normally would.
Ooooh, pretty! Credit: screenshot: top nine
Best Nine generates a basic square image that you can download to your device. Neither Best Nine or Top Nine's images are watermarked, if that's something that tends to bother you.
If all else fails, just take a screenshot. You can jazz it up on your Instagram Story however you like, and your followers will surely be impressed by the same posts they already saw the first time you posted them.
But hey, we all deserve some innocent, vain fun. Bring on the Instagram top nines!

Make your top nine for Instagram without watermark and passwords
December 30, 2021 Matt Mills How to enroll 0
In just a few hours, we will end this 2021. And, as has happened in other years, you will certainly be interested to know what exactly are your most successful posts on Instagram this season. Every year the Internet is filled with applications and websites that live only for this curiosity. In this post, we will show you the easiest way to make this top whether you have an Android device or if you use an iPhone. And that's it, without putting your privacy at risk . Take action.
Top nine or Top nine is the top with nine images which had the most likes on Instagram during the year.
With the help of applications or web services, we get a unique image that includes the top, which we can upload to Instagram and share it with our followers.
As we said, there are many services for this, but this does not mean that it is positive. We have to be very careful when putting our data into a third party application. The application we have chosen allows us to take an image without linking the app to our Instagram account . However, at the end of the post, we will show you an alternative if you prefer to use it.
How to Become the Top Nine of 2021
After looking a bit at the panorama of web apps and services to make this famous top, we liked the Best Mesh option the most. This app is available in both the iOS App Store and the Android Play Store. It received a lot of publicity, but has several advantages over all the other , which is why it's our favorite.
The first advantage is that we will not need to enter the login and password to get the result.
We will download it, we will receive the first advertisement and it will ask us to enter the username of our account. We can place our profile or another profile without any problems. Once this is done, the program will take care of getting Instagram data and form a 3 by 3 photo matrix with the most successful posts from the account we created. nine0007
Below you can choose a grid style and many details to customize your Top 9. Flaws? Some. First the app will show you watermark in the lower right corner of the grid. You can remove it no watermark in exchange for displaying ads. The same thing happens when exporting. You can choose between purchasing the Pro version (which unlocks all the features of the app) or re-watching one or two ads. You'll lose some time, but make sure no one gets access to your data, which is also a good thing. nine0007
Oh, and a little trick. If you want to save time, remove the watermark by viewing the first ad, then take a Screenshot of .
Nobody will know.
Any other ways?
Yes, in fact, one of the most used apps this year is Top Nine , also available for iPhone and Android. You can use it if you want as it is another one of the apps we consider safe. Of course you will need to enter your login and password in the application .
Once you are done and export your top 9 don't forget to revoke permissions from the app from Instagram by going to Settings , Guard , Active apps , then check the box next to Remove authorization option.
Instagram hashtag search - how to search for posts, stories, places and people
It seems that finding anything and anyone on Instagram* is not difficult at all. But this is not always an easy task, sometimes there is not enough data to search, or the desired result is hidden among hundreds of inappropriate ones.
And if you need to find a post or a person without registration at all? And how do you search by hashtags? Let's figure it out.
How Search and Recommendations work
You need to understand what you can find using the Search function. To get to the search engine, click on the magnifying glass icon.
Popular photos and videos for the last hour will open firstTo start searching, click on the line at the top of the screen. The interface will change - a white screen will appear, in the upper part of which there are 4 search categories:
- accounts - user pages;
- audio - music on Instagram* is also available, yes;
- tags - search keywords;
- places - search by locations.
If you just enter a word by which we want to search for accounts, places or something else, Instagram* will search in all categories.
There are more popular accounts in this query, hashtags are not visible.
Instagram* will search for what the user enters after the pound sign Search can be used both in the mobile application and in the web version. The only difference is that in the web version there is no division into accounts, tags, and so on. To find only accounts, you need to enter @ before the search word, and to search by tags, respectively, #. nine0007 As in the mobile version, if you just enter a word, it will search in all categories
How to search by the hashtag of an Instagram post *
To find tagged posts, you can use the option described above. And after going to the search, you can click on the "Tags" tab. And there already search without the # sign.
Among the options will be not only the words indicated in the search, but also similar ones. This is done in case the user enters a word inaccurately or incorrectly. So the search will be more successful, and you will have more options to view. nine0007 Among the responses of Instagram*, you can see those that differ from the query
By clicking on any option, a list of posts marked with this hashtag will open.
For example, let's open a search for the hashtag "promotion".
There will be a lot of materials related to this tag. They are divided into 3 categories:
- top - the most popular posts and videos by tag;
- recent - tags that came out within the last hour; nine0079
- Reels videos are short videos marked with a hashtag.
Top opens first. If you switch between categories, you get into recent posts or Reels. You can click on any of the posts or videos, view the content, leave a comment or like.
Please note that there are prohibited hashtags. In the search, Instagram* may write that no posts were found for this tag. If old posts remain and have not been deleted, it will show old posts. nine0007
How to search people by hashtag
Some users and business accounts try to create unique tags to make their profile stand out from the rest.
With their help, you can find people through the usual search box on Instagram*.
There are no special instructions for searching for users - we search in the same way as we search for posts. Just enter a hashtag for search, preferably not the most popular one, and look for the right person in the images found. It is more convenient if the user has a unique hashtag by which he adds his posts. nine0007
How to find stories on Instagram* using the hashtag
Since 2017, users have been able to search for stories using hashtags and geolocations. For example, business owners could find out what the situation is in their cafe or other establishment right now. Stories helped people who were going on a trip to understand what kind of weather and interesting places await them. It helped bloggers to get additional coverage.
In 2021, this hashtag or geolocation search feature has been disabled, possibly permanently. This was done, most likely, to protect privacy. nine0154 So it’s impossible to search Stories by hashtag on Instagram* in 2021, there is simply no such function.
How to search multiple tags at once
This feature is most often searched for by newbies on Instagram*. Agree, it would be very convenient to find posts with several hashtags at once. This would narrow down the search and the number of results, helping you find the right content right away.
This feature is not yet available in 2021. Developers are in no hurry to add it to either the mobile application or the web version. nine0007
You can try to write several tags at once. Previously, Instagram* combined them into one tag and offered options in which both tags occur at the same time. Now, after entering the second hashtag, the results disappear. Instagram* doesn't search for more than one hashtag.
Instagram* allows you to search only by one word or by writing several words togetherHow to find a post on Instagram* by hashtag without registration
Can you find a post by hashtag if you do not log in from this browser? The question is of interest to many who value their anonymity or do not want to create a profile on a social network for the sake of one search.
You can search without registration, but there is a nuance. Below is the instruction. nine0007
If you simply open Instagram* in a browser without registration and authorization in the social network, the main page will open. From here it will not be possible to go anywhere until the user registers or logs into his account.
There is no search bar on the main page, there is simply nowhere to enter hashtagsBut you can do it in a tricky way. In the search engine, we write any Instagram user account * that definitely exists. For example, take the profile of Buzova.
Who to look for is not important, you can even Ivan IvanovWhen you go to the person's page, what we need will open - the full version of Instagram * with a search.
A line with a suggestion to enter or register will constantly appear at the bottom. But it can be closed by clicking on the cross in the corner These actions can be performed both in mobile and web versions.
Bonus: the most popular hashtags in 2021
Hashtags come in different frequencies: high-frequency, mid-frequency and low-frequency. We already talked about this in the article “Top 50 hashtags on Instagram * in 2021 and how to use them.” The highest frequencies are considered popular. If you attach a high-frequency hashtag to a post, the post will appear in the general search. nine0007
In 2021, the most popular hashtags in English were:
| #love | #follow | #selfie | #smile | #instadaily |
| #instagood | #followme | #picoftheday | #friends | #instalike |
| #me | #photooftheday | #like4like | #fun | #swag |
| #cute | #happy | #instagramanet | #fashion | #amazing |
| #tbt | #beautiful | #instatag | #summer | #tflers |
In Russian, you can also easily collect the top 25 hashtags with different topics:
| #photo | #sky | #smile | #selfie | #beauty |
| #Instagram*_Russian | #life | #moscow | #likes | #nature |
| #Instagram*of the week | #night | #girls | #insta | #Instagram* |
| #my love | #me | #friendship | #super | #russia |
| #life is beautiful | #day | #friends | #photo | #love |
We analyzed even more popular hashtags in the articles “Popular hashtags on Instagram*: top 2021” and “80 hashtags for promotion and promotion in social networks”.
nine0007
But remember that such popular hashtags can lead to a lot of inappropriate content. These tags are used by millions of people, and the hashtag does not always match what is in the photo. In addition, in the search for such hashtags, the post does not linger for a long time and goes down the feed - it is displaced by fresh, just published ones.
We have an exciting blog post on how to choose hashtags to work. There are several types of them, and they should also be used correctly. More information in the article. nine0007
And if you want your posts to be sure to catch the eye of the target audience, use the Followers Hashtags tool in Pepper.Ninja - it collects hashtags that are followed by the audience of any open Instagram * account, yours or competitors. You will only have to use the popular tags that the service will collect in your posts.
We looked at how to correctly find a post, account, place or tag using a hashtag on Instagram*.
