Frequently Asked Questions
What is the character limit for an IG bio?
150 characters. You can add line breaks without limitation as long as you stick to the 150 character limit.
What is the character limit for an Instagram caption?
Instagram captions can have up to 2,200 characters - including hashtags and emojis. That's why many content creators opt to write captions and save their first comment for the hashtags.
Can you use special characters in your Instagram bio?
Yes, there are no limitations on what special characters you can include in Instagram bios. However, keep in mind that certain characters might not appear on other devices depending on their operating systems, or regions. While many users opt for special characters to separate the first line and second line of their bio, or to create the appearance of an empty line, it's best to just use the Enter key to add more lines as it's less prone to bugging out.
