It is not surprising that many users want to extract some of the content from Instagram and share it on their resource. Quite often, by the way, a lot of the necessary information is in the commentary on the post with a photo or video. But getting her out of there is not easy. On mobile devices, comments are not clickable, so itās impossible to select text in them. What to do then?
In this article, you will receive an answer to the question about how to copy text on Instagram from a comment. In addition to this, you will also learn a lot of additional information about the text content of this social network.
How to copy text to Instagram?
Extracting the right information from the text on this social network is relatively simple. It all depends on what device you use: a computer or a mobile gadget based on one of the popular operating systems.
To begin with, let's analyze the simplest example: how to copy text to Instagram from a computer.
Personal computers
It should be noted that āInstagramā on a computer in a browser (in a standard form without third-party extensions and additions) and āInstagramā on any mobile device as an application are completely different things.
In the computer version, unlike the mobile version, there are no restrictions for interacting with the text of user posts. Therefore, itās much easier to understand how to copy text to Instagram in the desktop version of the site. On a PC, you can simply open any photo or video and copy the description with the usual selection.
Android: tablets, smartphones
Now you can figure out how to copy text on Instagram from an Android OS phone. To do this is not much more difficult than on a personal computer. You only need to learn the algorithm.
In a mobile application, if you often use it, rather than the browser version on a smartphone or tablet, you must open the desired post. Then in the upper right corner you will need to find three points located vertically.
Clicking on them will open a menu where you will be asked to either complain about the post, or copy the link, or enable notifications about publications. You must select the second item.
The copied link must be inserted into the search bar of a browser on a smartphone or tablet. And just in the opened version of the post, it will be possible to copy the text from the description with the usual selection. It turns out that copying text on Instagram on Android is not difficult.
iOS devices: iPhones, iPads and iPods
However, Android is not the only mobile operating system that people use. There is also iOS. Although to figure out how to copy text on Instagram on an iPhone, for example, is even easier.
In fact, in the case of iOS devices, the same instructions can be used as described above for Android devices.
For devices on both operating systems, there is another universal method that is associated with additional software. This software is a popular Telegram messenger. Its functionality provides for the use of bots. One of these bots is InstaSave. It can be found in the search exactly by that name (without quotes). By the way, this bot is free. Once you have opened a dialogue with him, you can familiarize yourself with the instructions for using it, or you can simply insert a link to the post in the dialog box and send it to the bot. He will extract the material from the social network and in two messages will provide the picture or video from the post, as well as its description.
What is the best way to create Instagram posts?
In order not to cause unnecessary trouble to your subscribers who follow the information that you post on your account, you need to adhere to several rules for writing posts on Instagram, which will be described below.
First, you need to break the text into paragraphs. Words and sentences written in solid text are very poorly absorbed, unlike those distributed in paragraphs. Itās only necessary to take into account that the paragraph in the āInstagramā for the post cannot be made a usual space. The system will delete the empty line. You need to occupy it with some sort of symbol. For example, an emoji emoticon in white or a regular dot. In this case, everything is limited only by the authorās imagination.
Secondly, you should not insert links in the description text. They will not be clickable, and subscribers will not be able to use them. Consequently, the whole point of such links disappears. Of course, they can be copied, but above it has already been described how gallantly this is done within the framework of Instagram. Therefore, it is better to keep all useful links in the profile description for the "website" column. In this case, they will be active, and subscribers will be able to follow them.
Thirdly (optional item), texts for posts can be supplemented with emoji-emoticons. Many users (if not the vast majority) of Instagram like this visualization. The main thing is not to overdo it with the number of these emoticons. In addition, it is worth remembering that you need to insert them appropriately, and not anyhow.
Fourth, if you want to print some description for the photo: clever thought, your own thoughts, but donāt know what to write, then itās better not to do this at all. With a high probability, nothing sensible and interesting will come up.
