Make Line Breaks using Symbols

The simplest way to add spaces in your Instagram captions is by using symbols.

You can use special characters like a dash (-), star (*) as well as various emojis wherever you require a line break and these special characters will work as a space between caption sentences.

The only issue with this option for adding Instagram caption spacing is that these symbols or characters will be visible to everyone, which might make the caption a little messy for some people.

Try Hiding Your Hashtags With Period (.)

Even though hashtags are used for placing your Instagram posts on relevant search streams where different users including your followers can view it, they tend to make captions look really messy. 

One common hack is to push your hashtags under the visible area of the caption by including full-stops. i.e “spaces” between the end of your caption and hashtags.
