Use the text field, the More button, or the full-screen editor.

The caption field

On the composer screen, below your photo and the thumbnail row, you'll see:

Caption field. Say something about this moment...

Tap to start typing. The keyboard pops up. Whatever you type appears as the caption on your moment.

Short captions

For quick captions, just type in the field. Up to about 100 characters fit comfortably. The composer auto-expands as you type.

Longer captions — the More button

If you write a longer caption, you'll see a More link at the end. Tapping More opens a full-screen Caption editor where:

• You see the entire caption at once
• You can format it with line breaks
• You can edit faster on a bigger writing area
• Tap Done at the top-right when finished

What you can include in a caption

• Plain text — describe what's happening, share a thought, set the mood
• Hashtags — #happymoment, #cricket, #cricketvibes — these become tappable in the feed
• @mentions — type @username to tag someone (their handle becomes blue and clickable)
• Emoji — use your phone's emoji keyboard to add expression
• Hinglish — type in English or Hindi (Devanagari) — both work

Caption character limit. Captions can go up to several hundred characters. There's a soft limit — once you're typing a lot, consider whether the moment should really be a caption, or if it deserves its own dedicated post.

Where mentioned friends are different from tagged friends

Two ways to involve friends in your moment:

• Mention — type @username in the caption text. Their handle is hyperlinked. They get a notification.
• Tag — use the Tag your squad button (see Tagging people). They appear with avatars at the bottom of your moment, separate from the caption.

Both work. Mentions are good for casual references; tags are better for everyone in the photo.

FAQs — Captions

Q. Can I edit a caption after posting?

A. Yes — open your moment, tap the more-options menu, and tap Edit Caption. Make changes and save.

Q. Why does my caption look cut off in the feed?

A. Long captions are truncated in the feed for readability. Friends see a ... more link they can tap to expand. Your full caption is preserved — just hidden until tapped.

Q. Can I use line breaks in my caption?

A. Yes — in the full-screen Caption editor (tap More), press Enter for a line break. Line breaks are preserved.

Q. My hashtag isn't clickable in the feed. Why?

A. Hashtags need to be a single word with # directly before (no space). #cricket works. # cricket (with a space) doesn't.

Q. Can I add a link to my caption?

A. Yes — paste a URL, and Currently auto-linkifies it. Friends can tap to open it in a browser. URLs in captions don't get a rich preview.
