Have you tried separating your paragraphs on Instagram just to find out that they all get together after you save your changes?

This is the secret…

As you can also read from the caption in the example above, for you to create a single line break on Instagram, you have to make sure that you don’t put any space after the last word before the desired line break.

We tend to do this unconsciously and then Instagram puts everything together as if we didn’t do intend to have a line break where we meant to have one.

If you have searched this online, you might have found that some people recommend putting brackets with “special spaces”, and then deleting them to just leave the spaces.

Let me tell you something…

They are just wasting their time, simply because they don’t have to do that at all in order to achieve this; just do what we just talked about.

Now…

How about creating more than one line break?

This is when it gets interesting…

Sadly, what we were just talking about, no longer works.

If you attempt to create more than one line break using the “no space after the last word” method, this is what happens…

As you can see, Instagram will always make it one line break.

No matter how many lines you are trying to create, the app will automatically put just one.

But there is a way around this, though.

Is very simple, and I’m so glad I found this tool; trust me it wasn’t easy.

Creating more than one line break on Instagram:

Go to Hashtagie’s Instagram Text Spacer tool:

You should want to bookmark it.

This is what you should be seeing:

Now just write your text exactly how you want it to look and after that, press on “Copy.”

That will automatically copy the whole text, so the next thing you would have to do is just paste it wherever you want.

Aside from captions, this also works for comments and bios as well.

What should you have in mind?

You don’t want to abuse this, there is a limit on the number of characters for each text and every line break will be counted as a different character.

Why are line breaks even important?

A simple reason why people find line breaks on Instagram to be very important is simply that they want to organize their captions in a better way.

The number of people reading your captions could be highly influenced by the length of it.

If everything is glued together, the text just seems and feels longer than it really is; people just don’t like that.

On the other hand, you can also use line breaks to hide your hashtags and tags if you find yourself not wanting others to see them.

Why is it so hard to create line breaks on Instagram?

Well, doing this is not necessarily hard, but Instagram does make it complicated to do this simple thing.

I see many people asking this same question every time, and the only answer I can think of is this one.

Instagram is mainly focused on the creation of content in the form of images and videos.

They encourage others to share their thoughts through captions as well, but this is not their main goal nor the reason why the app was created in the first place.

Yes, you are able to write them, but not everybody would expect to come across large amounts of text when they are scrolling through their timeline.

What are other alternatives?

If you want to have a variation on the way that you do this, you can also use dots or emojis.

People have been doing this for a very long time, and they still do since not too many of them know about these things.

In my personal opinion, having emojis and dots do not look as good as having that blank space that we all want and we just talked about, but it is a way that could help you organize your ideas in the same way.

If it makes sense to do it, go for it.

Lastly…

If you found this useful and learned at least one thing, make sure to share it with others that might benefit from it.

Thank you, and love you all.

See you soon.
