The Instagram bio is a space where you can write a little about yourself on the profile. Although the biography of the social network has a limit of only 160 characters, there are several ways to make it creative and organized with easy personalization tips.
In the bio, the user can put phrases for Instagram profile, tag friends, use hashtags, add emojis, change the letter of the bio and insert links from other social networks. In addition, you can skip the line or insert indentations in the text to change the formatting. Check out these and other tips to have a creative bio on Instagram.

2. How to tag friends in the Instagram bio
Marking friends in the Instagram bio is quite interesting for commercial accounts, since it facilitates the dissemination of public persons or partner brands. It is worth remembering that the mentioned account receives a notification of its activity, and it has the option of rejecting the action. If this happens, the entry in your bio will not be clickable.
Step 1. To tag friends in the bio, tap "Edit profile" and then "Biography";

3. How to skip the line in the Instagram bio
You can wrap the text in the Instagram bio text, but this is not possible natively in the application. So, if you want to make your bio text cleaner and more organized, know that this tip is only available for the social network's mobile app.
To do this, I need to open the native notes app on your phone. In this tutorial, we use the Samsung Notes notebook. Then, type the text of your biography without forgetting to make the line breaks you want. Then, copy the content and paste it into the Instagram bio.

5. How to put space in the Instagram bio
The line indentation in the Instagram bio makes the text look different. To do this, simply format the text in a part application with different alignments on each line. Then you need to copy it to paste the content into the Instagram bio. In this step, we use WhatsApp, since Samsung's notepad did not stick to the bio with the defined alignment.
