Ready?
Let’s look at some of my favorite selfie captions.
Where are the Instagram captions for selfies in Preview?
The first caption category you should check out is – of course – the “Selfie” captions.
You’ll find funny and short selfie captions in here.
Sassy captions
Want to bring some attitude to your post and be witty? Check the “Sassy Girl” caption ideas.
These captions are for you if you want to show off your confidence, sass and personality. Because why not?
Your followers will love reading these for sure.
Captions to get more comments
What if you want to get more comments? Or you want to start conversations with your followers?
Then you’ll love these “Get Comments” captions for your selfies.
In here you will find questions you can ask your followers and games you can play.
Personal captions
You can also write more “personal” captions for your selfies.
For example:
- “3 fun facts about me: ___”, or
- “2 truth and a lie: ____ Which one is the lie?”
There are a lot more fun caption ideas in this category. I like these captions because your followers get to know you, and at the same time you can get more comments. Win-win!
So definitely check it out.
Caption Starters
What if you have a caption in mind but you’re not too sure what to say at the beginning to get people’s attention? Would they even read until the end?
If you’re ever in doubt or need some inspiration to start your caption: check the “Starters” captions.
Think of “Starters” as “hooks”. They hook people to read the rest of your captions,
For example, one of the Starters is:
- “First of all, let’s address the elephant in the room: ______”
As you can see there is a blank. All you have to do is fill in the blank with your story.
Funny quotes
Want to have some fun with your followers? Want to write a funny selfie caption?
Then the “Funny Quotes” category will be your happy place:
“Weird Questions” captions
Continuing on the funny selfie caption ideas… check out the “Weird Questions“.
These are the perfect captions to get more comments too.
You’ll get weird questions like:
- “Time freezes for everyone but you for one day. What do you do?”
Enjoy reading your followers’ comments!
This caption category is one of people’s favorites in the app!
Makeup quotes
Is your makeup on point in your selfie?
Or maybe you’re a makeup lover.
Why not use makeup quotes and question ideas from time to time for your selfies?
Check out these 2 makeup caption categories in the app:
- “Makeup Quotes”
- “Makeup Blogger”
Hair captions
Part of your selfie is your hair too. So if you feel like switching things up, use a “Hair” caption.
Selfie captions based on the season
Preview has a ton of new captions that come out every season (summer, winter, fall, spring).
You’ll see short captions, caption puns, wordplays, questions you can ask your followers based on the seasons.
Just type a season in the search bar and you will see the recommended caption ideas.
Tip: New captions come out before each season starts. So keep an eye out for them.
Love quotes
Feeling romantic today? Why not write a beautiful love quote for your selfie?
You’ll find super romantic quotes, and also very cheesy ones.
So feel free to choose whatever your mood of the day is.
Questions to ask your followers
You’ll also see that there are a lot of “Questions” categories in Preview.
For example:
- “Travel Questions”, or
- “Food Questions”
Every time you see the word “Question”, it means there are question ideas you can ask your followers about a certain topic.
Asking questions in your caption is just a natural way to start conversations with people – and therefore get more comments naturally.
So scroll through the caption categories and look out for the “Questions” captions.
Home Quotes
Are you taking your selfie at home?
Want to relate your caption to your home?
Have a look at the “Home Quotes” for short and sweet home captions.
Captions if you take a selfie in bed
If you are taking a selfie from your bed, then check out the “Bed” caption ideas.
You will get a bunch of wordplays, puns and cosy caption ideas.
Weekdays captions
You can relate your caption to the days of the week.
See the “Weekdays” captions for some ideas.
Weekend captions
If you’re posting your selfie during the weekend, check the “Weekend” captions.
Fashion captions
Check the “Fashion” captions if you take a mirror selfie or show your outfit.
Inspirational quotes
Sometimes, all you need is an inspirational quote to motivate yourself and your followers. Sometimes all we need is a few words to make ourselves feel better.
Check the “Inspiration Quotes” for these days where you feel like brightening someone’s day.
Motivational quotes
There are also Motivational quotes in the app. So if you’re feeling strong, confident and want to share your motivation with your followers, a motivational quote might be the perfect caption for your selfie.
That’s it!
There are a lot more captions in Preview if you need other caption ideas.
