How to Create a Line Break in your Instagram Caption

edit caption for picture in instagram


**see updated post here**

 This has been frustrating me like no other situation! I create a nice, long caption in Instagram, WITH line breaks, and then everything gets smooshed together once posted. I used the edit feature in Instagram to "repair" my caption and re-add the spaces based off apparent solutions I google'd:

 What did NOT work:


What DID work:

REMOVE YOUR PUNCTUATION AT THE END OF EACH PARAGRAPH BEFORE THE LINE BREAK 
Other posts I read swore by this as the holy grail approach and I tried it and failed again. So what many DID NOT mention was the fact that - 
**You have to make sure you have NO SPACES after each paragraph upon removing the punctuation (or else it won't work) 
It finally worked and now I'm grateful to have this tip for all my captions. Not having to use other apps to create a caption with line breaks in Instagram is such a pain. This, was an easy answer for me :) Hope it helps you too, especially the bloggers out there and let me know what other tips you have or questions you need answers to!
