Tip #3 – Write Your Captions in Schedugram

When working in Schedugram, you can write your caption with line breaks and it should post it as is as long as you make sure not to use any spaces between the lines but hit “Enter” when adding a new line.

Alternatively, you can also write you caption in any Notes app and then copy/paste it into Schedugram without adding any spaces or further editing. This should post your caption with line breaks included.

Please note that copy/pasting from Microsoft Excel / Google sheets likely won’t have the same effect.

Remember:

  • Make sure to take out any extra spaces between paragraphs.
  • Don’t add an extra space after the full stop or the last word in the paragraph. If you do, then the line breaks won’t appear.
  • Just hit the “Return” button to add line breaks

How To Add Line Breaks in Your Bio

Adding line breaks in your Instagram bio can help make it more readable and visually appealing. Here’s a simple guide on how to do it:

  1. Write Your Bio in a Text Editor: Start by writing your bio in a text editor like Notes (for iOS) or Google Keep (for Android). This allows you to easily format your bio with line breaks.
  2. Add Line Breaks: In the text editor, press ‘Enter’ or ‘Return’ wherever you want to insert a line break.
  3. Copy the Formatted Bio: Once you’re satisfied with the formatting, copy the entire bio.
  4. Open Instagram and Go to Your Profile: Launch the Instagram app and go to your profile by tapping on your profile picture in the bottom right corner.
  5. Edit Your Profile: Tap on ‘Edit Profile’ right under your profile picture.
  6. Paste Your Bio: In the bio section, paste the bio you formatted in the text editor.
  7. Adjust if Necessary: If the line breaks don’t appear as expected, you might need to remove any spaces at the end of each line.
  8. Save Your Changes: After making sure your bio looks as you want it to, tap ‘Done’ (for iOS) or ‘Save’ (for Android) to update your profile.

Remember, Instagram bios have a character limit, so be mindful of the length of your bio when adding line breaks.

Final Thoughts

There you have it – the complete guide on how to go to next line in Instagram caption and bio.

Unfortunately Instagram has full-control on how your captions are displayed.

We can’t change that! We type in the caption box whatever you have entered, so whether the line breaks “stick” will be due to Instagram’s rules.

The good news is a simple Google Search on Instagram spacing will unearth many different theories and tips.

It does seem that the advice changes very often. Our best recommendation is to experiment to see what works for you.
