Getting more from these captions
Stay under 150 characters
Instagram allows 150 characters in a bio. Every idea on this page fits, and the line breaks are shown as a vertical bar so you can turn them into real breaks.
Say who it is for in the first line
New visitors read the first line of a bio before anything else. Put what you do or what you post there.
Use line breaks, not long sentences
A bar between two short ideas scans better than a long sentence and makes the profile look tidy on a phone.
Questions
How many characters can an Instagram bio have?
Instagram allows 150 characters. Emojis and line breaks count too, so check the counter after pasting.
Should I put a link in my bio text?
Use the separate website field for links. Typing one into the bio text won't be clickable and uses up space.
How often should I change my bio?
Change it when your focus changes, such as a new job, a new shop or a new hobby. A bio that matches your recent posts works best.
What is the best bio for Instagram?
The best bio says who you are in the first line and what to expect next, in plain words. It stays under 150 characters, avoids long symbol strings and gets updated when you do something new. Instagram bio ideas for every mood are in the lists above.
What should a foodie write in an Instagram bio?
What you eat or cook, your city and your style. A funny line about hunger or biryani helps.
What should a traveller put in an Instagram bio?
Your travel style, where you've been or are going, and how often you post. A quick line about budget or solo trips helps.
What should two friends write in a joint Instagram bio?
Both names, how long you've been friends and a short joke or shared habit.
Can people see my bio on a private account?
Yes. Your name, username, profile photo and bio are visible to everyone, even if your posts are not, so write it with strangers in mind.
