Bold and italic text on Instagram

- Styled letters work in captions, comments and your bio. Usernames take plain letters only.
- A hashtag in styled letters is a different tag, so the formatter leaves hashtags plain and they keep showing in the hashtag’s feed.
- The feed shows about the first 125 characters before “…more”. A bold first line is what people read.
- Captions stop at 2,200 characters, counting each styled letter.
Text styles and what they cost
