You may be confused about how we center the text in the Instagram bio using spaces. It’s not magic. It’s simple, and it’s what you can do yourself. Here, you will know what these spaces are and how to create those.
How To Create Instagram Bio Spaces
Instagram bio was designed in a way that if you add space to the left-hand side of each row of text that you want to center, it will make your bio text look awkward or disorganized after submission.
The text line in the Instagram bio is left justified.
The only thing you can do is to create “nonbreaking spaces” outside your Instagram bio and paste it either on the left-hand side of each row or the right-hand side, depending on how you want your bio text to look.
Nonbreaking space is also known as “ ,” hard space, or required space. It looks exactly like regular space, but the difference is that it marks a safe place to flow text onto a new line or page.
You can create nonbreaking space through these methods.
Method #1: Using Microsoft Word or Google Docs
