TikTok Character Limits

Long captions, tiny bio - know which box you are writing into

TikTok raised its caption limit to 4,000 characters, turning captions into a searchable, almost blog-like field - but the feed still truncates after the first line or two. The bio remains one of the smallest on any platform at 80 characters.
