Character limits for each social network
Each network cuts the text at a different point, and almost none warns you until you try to post. The easiest to exceed are the TikTok bio, which only allows 80 characters, and the Instagram bio, with 150.
Fitting doesn't mean it's read in full. Instagram shows the first two lines of the caption before «more», and Google shows only the first 60 or 70 characters of a YouTube video title. Put the important part first.
Emojis and fancy fonts count as one character each in this counter, the way a person sees them. Some networks count them internally as two or more, so if you're close, leave a margin.
