Instagram is quite limited when it comes to fonts. For example, there is no official setting that allows you to change Instagram's bio font or even the fonts of your comments. But that doesn't mean you can't change the fonts at all.
In this article, we'll show you several ways to change fonts in Instagram stories, bio, comments, and even captions.
