Captions for Instagram are short texts that describe or comment on the photos or videos posted on the app. They can include emojis, hashtags, and tags to make them more engaging or relevant . Instagram captions can be up to 2,200 characters and are like subtitles describing what you want to tell with the photo or video you shared .
