Frequently asked questions
What is the character limit for an X bio?
X bios are capped at 160 characters, and that count includes spaces, punctuation, and emoji. The counter tracks your total live as you type, so you know exactly how much room you have left.
Does the bio limit include my name and handle?
No. The 160-character limit applies to the bio field only — your display name and @handle are separate fields with their own limits and don't count against your bio.
Do emoji count as one character or more?
Most emoji count as a single character, but some multi-codepoint emoji (like family or flag emoji) can count as two or more depending on the device. The counter flags these so a bio that looks short on your phone doesn't silently overflow on someone else's.
Does a link in my bio count toward the 160 characters?
Yes. The URL you paste in your bio counts at its full length, even though X displays it differently. If you're running tight, shorten the link first or drop less essential words.
