How to Skip a Line on Instagram

Formatting your Instagram captions to look pleasing to the human eye is a great way to grab your followers’ attention. Whether you want to skip a line or add spaces between your thoughts, it’s a good place to start to make your content easier to read. 

We’ll start by saying the concept of line breaks on Instagram isn’t necessarily new, just that they’re being used more now than ever. Having captions that look clean makes them entice your readers and followers. We’ll go through this super simple feature by explaining how to skip a line in your next caption using a few different ways. 

 

How to Skip a Line on Instagram Caption

Instagram used to not allow users to insert spaces in their captions within the app. They would make users have to go into their Notes app and type exactly what they want and copy it into the Instagram caption box. While this is still an effective way to add spaces in your caption, Instagram has made it easier for users.  

Here’s a breakdown of how to get started on adding in line breaks:

  • Open the Instagram app.
  • Click the “+” in the top right-hand corner.
  • Click “Post.”
  • Select the photo you want to post, then click “Next.”
  • Once you’re typing your caption and want to insert a line break, simply click the “123” button on your keyboard, then click “return.”
    • This breaks up your content by skipping a line and adding in that line break. 

 

How to Skip a Line on Instagram Bio 

Instagram bios are a little different when it comes to adding spaces. Following the same steps above will allow you to start a new line in your bio, but it won’t necessarily be a “space.”

  • Open the Instagram app. 
  • Click your profile icon in the bottom right-hand corner. 
  • Click “Edit Profile.”
  • Click on the “Bio” section. 
  • Type what you want on the first line of your bio.  
  • When you want a line break, click the “123” button on your keyboard, then click “return.” 
    • Doing this will bring you to the next line without forming a space in between. Instagram lets you type it out that way, but once you click save it will automatically close that gap. 

 

Other ways to skip lines in Instagram captions

Another way to insert a space into your Instagram caption is by copying and pasting an invisible space in the text. 

  • Take this space between the parentheses and add it to your next post: ( )
    • This is essentially the same as using the “return” button on your keyboard, but some might think this way is a little easier. 

The next way is by using punctuation marks to add spaces.

  • Just finish your phrase with a period or any emoji and then press enter. 
    • Be sure to not add any extra spaces at the end or else the line break won’t show up.
  • Once you’re in the next “paragraph,” write another period and press enter again.
  • Repeat these steps until you’re done writing your content for your caption. 

Since this result doesn’t look aesthetically pleasing, it usually isn’t a user’s top choice, but it’ll work for those who don’t care that they have a few periods throughout their caption. 

 

Conclusion

Skipping lines in your Instagram caption or bio is a tool that can help you make your content eye-catching. Readers appreciate content that is easy to read, so adding spaces between your thoughts might be a great way to get some new followers.

Take one of the ways we explained in this article to start writing your next caption or bio that includes line breaks!

How to Add Spaces in Instagram Captions and Bios

It can be frustrating coming up with a stellar idea for your bio just to be left stuck wondering how to add spaces in Instagram captions and bios. Staring at an overcrowded bio full of emojis just to add spaces just doesn’t click anymore.

Don’t fret, if you want a professional bio, just like mine, then you’ve come to the right place. In this article, I’ll guide you through all the ways you can add spaces to your Instagram bio and captions.

Why It’s Necessary to Add Spaces on Instagram Bios and Captions

There's a reason why everyone is adding spaces to their Instagram bios and captions. Spacing in your bio makes the content look more organized and professional. Plus, it allows you to add more information without overcrowding your profile.

Let’s look at this example:

The Rocky Mountain Soap Company’s Instagram bio is neat and to the point. The added spaces in the Instagram caption make it easy to read.

They made creative use of adding a single line space to accentuate where the soap comes from, as well as adding another space before adding a link to their store.

Here are a few other reasons why you should consider Instagram caption spacing:

  • Makes content easier to read.
  • Makes it more visually appealing.
  • Allows you to include more information without making your profile look cluttered.
  • Makes your profile look professional.
  • If you use a lot of Instagram hashtags, line breaks can easily hide them, giving your Instagram caption a neat look neat.

Here’s another excellent example of using space within an Instagram caption.

First off, it’s easy to read. The competition rules are numbered, and the spacing used to separate the introduction of the competition, rules, and then terms are normal practices, but it wasn’t always the case. Instagram allowed adding spaces in bio and caption in 2022.

That doesn’t mean people weren’t adding Instagram caption spaces before that. There have been workarounds to adding spaces in captions and bios since Instagram’s inception.

How to Add Spaces to Your Instagram Bio and Captions

Without further ado, here are all the ways you can add spaces in your Instagram bio and captions.

1. Use the Latest Instagram App on Your Mobile Device

That’s right, you can do it on the mobile app now! On the mobile app, you can add spaces when writing captions and bios by simply hitting the “enter” key.

Here’s how:

1. On the Instagram app, click on your profile photo in the bottom right corner.

2. On your profile page, select “edit profile”.

3. On the edit profile page, tap on “bio”.

4. Write your Instagram caption and add line breaks by using the enter key. Just remember, you need to add a single space at every line break; otherwise your bio will be formatted back to normal.

5. You’ll need to make sure to add a single space press for each line break. Once done, simply press the arrow on the top right.

Here’s what a bio should look like if done correctly.

2. Make Invisible Line Breaks With Your Phone’s Notes App

In some cases, your Instagram might glitch, or there is a problem with the update, preventing you from simply adding the spaces within the app. Don’t worry, there are a few other ways to add spaces.

If you want to add invisible line breaks in your Instagram bio, caption, or comment, you can do it using the Notes app on your phone.

Some mobile devices will already have a note application installed. If not, you can find plenty of free note apps on the Google Play Store, as well as the Apple App Store.

Once you’ve downloaded the app, it’s fairly simple to use.

Here are the steps you need to follow to add an invisible line break to your Instagram bio or caption using this option:

1. Open the note app and write your caption/bio. When you need to add a line break, add one invisible space into the next line.

2. Once done, copy the whole draft in the notes app. 

3. Then paste it into the Instagram bio or caption space.

And there you have it. A neatly spaced out bio, ready for the world to cast their gaze upon.

3. Make Line Breaks Using Emojis and Symbols on Instagram

The easiest way to add spaces in your Instagram bio and captions is by using symbols or emoticons. It’s also the fastest option to add line breaks, and you can still type directly into the Instagram app.

If you want to use symbols, here are some options you can use:

  • Period OR (.)
  • Dash OR (-)
  • Em Dash OR —
  • Asterisk OR ✱ 

You can use these characters wherever you need a blank space in your Instagram bio or caption. And this extra character will act as the space between paragraphs, effectively creating line breaks in your Instagram bio, comment, or caption.

Alternatively, you can even include emoticons to add an element of fun to your captions. If you're like most people, you probably use emoticons to add a little bit of personality to your texts. But did you know that emoticons can also be used to add visual interest to your Instagram posts?

Here is an example:

The main problem with this option for adding spaces and line breaks in Instagram captions and bios is that the symbol will be visible in your Instagram bio or caption. 

If that’s not a problem for you, you should go ahead with this method. Get creative with symbols and emojis and make your caption look more appealing.

Here’s how to add spaces in Instagram captions using this option:

  1. Type your Instagram bio or caption into the bio or caption area on Instagram.
  2. When you need a line break, tap on the “Enter” button on your keypad.
  3. Add the symbol or emoji in the next line. You can add a period to make it as minimally visible as possible in your Instagram bio or caption.
  4. Tap on “Enter” again and start typing the next paragraph.
  5. If you want more line breaks between two paragraphs, you can keep repeating steps 1 and 2 in your Instagram bio or caption, as needed.

4. Use an Instagram Tool or App Like PostBuilder to Add Line Breaks

You can also use the PostBuilder app to add space in your bio, captions, and comments.

The best part is that you don’t have to use characters like dots and hyphens, which can look messy in your caption copy.

Here are the steps you need to follow to use this tool to add spaces:

1. Find PostBuilder on the Apple App Store.

2. Download their app on your iOS device.

3. Start typing your caption copy in PostBuilder as you want it to appear on Instagram.

4. Once you’re done, hit the “Copy Caption” button above the box. This action will automatically copy whatever you’ve typed to your clipboard.

5. Open Instagram and simply paste this copy into your Instagram bio, captions, or comments to create line breaks.

Once done, press the checkmark on the top right, and your bio or caption should be done, like below.

Best Practices to Follow When Adding a Line Break to Instagram

Now that we’ve got the hang of adding line breaks into Instagram captions and bios, there are some general practices to remember when creating captions and bios with spaces.

1. Avoid Writing Directly on the Instagram App

If you’re looking to create professional captions that grab the reader's attention, then you shouldn’t be using Instagram’s editor.

Instead, you should be using excellent scheduling apps and caption/bio creators and editors available on PC, Android, and iOS. Some examples of these tools are PostBuilder, Copy. ai, Caption, and social media platforms like Inflact and Kicksta.

2. Take Out Extra Spaces

As mentioned earlier, the whole point of Instagram caption spacing is to make the content look neat, and read easily. With that in mind, adding a bunch of line breaks between two lines can be jarring.

Try to keep your paragraphs separated by a single-line break unless it’s absolutely necessary.

3. Use Line Breaks for Comments

Line breaks aren’t just for captions and bios. If you’re writing comments that are longer than a line or two, it might be better to add line breaks. This will make your comments easier to read, as well as help you emphasize certain parts of the comment.

To do this, you can simply use a notes or a captions tool like PostBuilder, write and copy your comment, and simply paste it in the comment section.

Space for Instagram to separate paragraphs in the text

Every advanced Instagram user knows that the success of an account does not depend on unique photos and videos alone. A well-written and formatted text with the addition of hashtags also plays an important role. Going to the page of popular instagrammers, you can see many differences in the design of the profile, which are not found in the accounts of ordinary users. Everyone knows how to upload pictures and place hashtags, but not many people know how to write text in paragraphs on Instagram.

Features of writing texts on Instagram

To make a post not only look beautiful, but also be perceived visually, you need to know how to divide Instagram text into paragraphs. This will help to properly structure it to avoid continuous typing that looks overloaded.

The success of the text depends on several rules:

  • the use of emoticons and dots, but in the first case, the main thing is not to overdo it so that the post does not look ridiculous;
  • Invisible spaces in Instagram will help to divide the text into paragraphs and make it readable.

If you use the space character on Instagram, the text will still be connected in the end. An invisible space is needed to separate it.

There is nothing difficult in this task: you need to put a transparent symbol at the beginning of the text. An easy way is to copy from the profile description, in which the text is located in the center. It is not visible on the phone, but in the WEB version of the application it can be recognized by the empty squares in front of the text.

You can choose another method without copying the box from the browser version.

How to write a post on Instagram in paragraphs

You can't do without an official client of the service. You can download it from the Play Store or the App Store, install it, and you can start structuring the text.

Each paragraph consists of one thought and contains no more than 5 lines. In this design, the reader will be interested.

Instagram, unlike other social networks, does not have a “indent between paragraphs” function, but if you want to separate paragraphs, you can put a period or “ ”.

It is enough to take the special symbol for Instagram once and copy it into the phone's notepad.

Putting a space for Instagram

Beginners try to indent the beginning of the text using spaces. This method is not efficient.

After publication, the site will format the text and remove unnecessary characters. As a result, a continuous text will be published.

This invisible character can be created by yourself by pressing the ALT key on the computer keyboard and typing the number 255. The invisible character will be automatically displayed on the screen. Then it can be inserted into the text an unlimited number of times and in a row.

This action cannot be performed from a smartphone. If there is no computer, only by copying.

The necessary indentation is located between the signs à and ß, and in order to complete the document, you need to add the required number of characters to a paragraph on Instagram.

Copying text from notes

One of the methods is to write texts not on Instagram. Ordinary text editors will come to the rescue.

Many users create limited posts using only emojis and features built into their mobile device. Posting a lot of photos that don't have much of a difference in description can cause followers to lose interest in the account.

The best option is to write from a computer, smartphone or tablet using a text editor.

Removing extra characters

Periods and emoticons also solve the problem of illegibility. It is worth considering that if you put a lot of emoticons and dots at the end of each sentence, the text will turn out to be overloaded.

If the picture is edited, signed and published, but looks unattractive, it is better to edit it and erase everything unnecessary.

Walkthrough:

  • click on the three dots sign above the video or picture;
  • select the "edit" section;
  • change text;
  • click on "done".

How to write from a new line on Instagram with visual markup

Visual markup is one of the interesting methods. Thanks to it, you can format the text in such a way that it can compete with the invisible separator mark. Let's see how to use it further.

Most gadgets have an emoji feature. If the choice is limited, there are many applications on the web with an abundance of emoticons and emoji. It is enough to choose the most interesting and install it on your phone.

After analyzing the accounts of well-known bloggers, you can see that in this way they highlight special parts of the text.

For example, various icons are used to indicate the beginning of a paragraph. This also applies to punctuation marks.

Instagram is able to recognize them all, and the result is an interesting and readable text.

  • using the built-in keypad, put a space;
  • copy to clipboard;
