How to change your Instagram font
If you're one of the users who are not happy with the new font, you can still change it according to your liking. Know Your Mobile (KYM) previously reported that people are getting a hard time to stand out on Instagram.
Your bio is what most people will see in your profile, making it one of the essential components of the entire page. You can improve your bio by changing the fonts according to your liking and the content you'll input.
One of the easiest ways to stand out is by changing your Instagram's default font and turning it to something uncommon and more bespoke.
However, you cannot change it using the app itself. For you to select a different font, you'll be needing to use the font generators of Instagram. Here are some of them.
The report claimed that 'Meta Tags Font Generator" is the most effective one to use since it provides you with the preview of what will your bio look like, saving you the hassle of going back and forth from your bio and the font generator. It is also straightforward to use. All you need to do is go to your PC or laptop, visit Meta Tag Generator, enter your bio's text, choose your preferred font, click copy, and then paste the code on your Instagram bio.
