Emojis on Instagram
Instagram allows emojis in bios, captions, comments, stories, and direct messages. The bio is limited to 150 characters, and many emojis count as two. Emoji reactions are available in DMs and on story replies.
Tip
Use a few emojis as labels in your bio, such as 📍 for location and 📩 for contact, and keep keywords as text so people can find you.
How to type emojis
Use your phone’s emoji keyboard, the system emoji picker on a computer (Win + . on Windows, Control + Command + Space on Mac), or copy any emoji from this site and paste it into Instagram.
