Practical guide
Make the first lines carry the caption
Instagram shows a short opening before the caption collapses behind “more”, and most viewers never expand it. The first sentence should work on its own, with the main message or the reason to read on.
The preview shows the account name in bold in front of the caption, as the feed does, and cuts the text where the fold usually falls. That position varies by device and app version, so treat it as an estimate.

Read only the visible lines and confirm the hook makes sense without the rest.
Pro tips
Pro tips for Instagram posts
Only the opening is visible
The feed collapses a caption behind “more” after roughly 125 characters. The preview cuts your copy at the same point, so you can check the hook survives.
The image comes first
An Instagram post is led by its media, with the caption underneath. The preview always shows an image so you can judge how much text sits below the fold.
Hashtags belong after the hook
Hashtags use the same 2,200 characters as the caption. Put the message first and the tags after it, where they do not crowd the visible lines.
