Its popularity can even increase over time. Though many people know the meaning &#8220;To Be Honest,&#8221; there are other meanings for TBH that are less common. For instance, &#8220;TBH&#8221; can also mean &#8220;To Be Heard,&#8221; which is somewhat related, though TBH is much more common. As Instagram grows in popularity, so do its new trendy terms. However, you&#8217;ll need to familiarize yourself with them before you can use them correctly.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"tbh_stands_for_to_be_honest\"><\/span>tbh stands for &#8220;to be honest&#8221;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>TBH is a popular hashtag on Instagram, which used to mean to be honest or to be heard, but now has a different meaning. A Washington Post article explains how the term came about. It refers to people who want to get close to their followers and use the hashtag in different ways. Some users use it to post positive comments about their friends, while others use it to show that they&#8217;re genuinely upset about something.<\/p>\n<p>While it&#8217;s true that &#8220;to be honest&#8221; is a positive term, it can be confusing to some users. Many people aren&#8217;t comfortable giving tbh to people who don&#8217;t have anything nice to say about someone. To avoid getting criticized for your comments, use a different format. You can also use the phrase &#8220;tbh and rate&#8221; when you&#8217;re trying to give a genuine response to a comment.<\/p>\n<p>In general, teens use the hashtag to show their feelings. Teenagers post tbhs for a variety of reasons, including connecting with their crush, gaining more likes, and conversing with people they might not otherwise talk to. Usually, however, the hashtags are between close friends or within two degrees of friendship. Regardless of the context, tbh is an effective social media tool and is recognized by users across the Internet.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Its_a_way_to_get_closer_to_someone_with_whom_you_dont_normally_talk\"><\/span>It&#8217;s a way to get closer to someone with whom you don&#8217;t normally talk<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>One of the best ways to get closer to someone with whom you don t usually talk on instagram is to offer them a low-investment activity. If you&#8217;re not friends with the person, you don&#8217;t know what they like or dislike, so you can&#8217;t simply offer them a task to do. Rather, ask about their interests and make them feel comfortable with you sharing details about their life.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Its_a_way_to_ask_for_their_opinion\"><\/span>It&#8217;s a way to ask for their opinion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can now ask people what they think of a certain topic on Instagram. In October, Instagram rolled out the Polls sticker. Since then, they&#8217;ve introduced the Emoji Slider. This allows users to ask questions using sliders and reply to them with their emoji. The latest addition to the Questions Sticker adds even more options for asking questions. It is available on both Android and iOS devices.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/rM92RTLjsOY\" width=\"428\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"239\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is the Meaning of TBH in Instagram?
