The data in this study are in the form of caption and comments on the Instagram accounts and the responses from the interview and questionnaire with 61 participants. This study used three instruments, namely documentation, questionnaires, and interviews. The findings indicated that tag switching was the dominantly used type of code switching with directive, poetic, and expressive  functions. While, to attract attention, to show habitual expression, to address different audience, and to show mood of the speaker were the functions and reasons of their code switching.
