Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Snapchat character limits.

Snapchat limits snap and story captions to 80 characters. This applies to both regular snaps and story posts, forcing content to stay brief and visual-first.
Snapchat bios are limited to 80 characters, the same as the snap caption limit. This appears on your profile and is one of the tightest bio limits of any major platform.
Snapchat usernames must be 3 to 15 characters, using only letters, numbers, underscores, dots, or hyphens, and must start with a letter. Usernames can only be changed once every 365 days.
Snapchat display names allow up to 30 characters and, unlike usernames, can be changed at any time through profile settings.
Yes, emojis count toward Snapchat character limits. Most emojis count as 2 characters due to Unicode encoding, so factor this in when writing captions close to the 80-character limit.
