"Instagram" is an incredibly popular social network in which some unnaturally large amount of content is aggregated daily: photos, videos, texts and more. Not just because once this company was bought by the brainchild of Mark Zuckerberg. Yes, Instagram is part of the Facebook corporation.
It's no surprise 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 comments to the post with a photo or video. But getting it out of there is not easy. On mobile devices, comments are not clickable, so it is impossible to select text in them. What to do then?
In this article, you will get the answer to the question of how to copy text on Instagram from a comment. Apart from this, you will also learn a lot of additional information about the text content of this social network.
Howcopy text to "Instagram"?
Getting the right information from text on this social network is relatively easy. 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 look at the simplest example: how to copy text to Instagram from a computer.
Personal computers
It should be noted that "Instagram" on a computer in a browser (in its standard form without third-party extensions and add-ons) and "Instagram" on any mobile device as an application are completely different things.
In the computer version, unlike the mobile version, there are no restrictions on interacting with the text of user posts. Therefore, it is much easier to understand how to copy text on Instagram in the desktop version of the site. On a PC, you can simply open any photo or video and copy the description with a normal selection.
Android: tablets, smartphones
Now you can figure out how to copy text on Instagram from an Android OS phone. This is not much more difficult to do than on a personal computer. You just need to learn the algorithm.
In the mobile application, if you use it more often than the browser version on your smartphone or tablet, you need to open the desired post. Then in the upper right corner you will need to find three dots,arranged vertically.
By clicking on them, a menu will open where you will be asked to either complain about the post, or copy the link, or turn on post notifications. You must select the second item.
The copied link must be pasted 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 a regular selection. It turns out that copying text on Instagram on Android is not difficult at all.
iOS devices: iPhones, iPads and iPods
However, Android is not the only mobile operating system that people use. There is also iOS. Although figuring out how to copy text to Instagram on an iPhone, for example, is even easier.
In fact, in the case of iOS devices, the same instructions as described above for Android devices can be applied.
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 involves the use of bots. One such bot is InstaSave. It can be found in the search for exactly this name (without quotes). By the way, this bot is free. Once you have opened a dialog with it, you can read the instructions for using it, or you can simply paste a link to the post into the dialog and send it to the bot. He himself will extract material from the social network and in two messageswill provide the image or video from the post itself, as well as its description.
What is the best way to compose posts on Instagram?
In order not to cause unnecessary trouble to your own subscribers who follow the information that you post in your account, you need to follow a few rules for compiling 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 that are distributed over paragraphs. You just need to take into account that you can’t make a paragraph on Instagram to a post with a regular space. The system will delete the empty line. You need to take it with some kind of symbol. For example, a white emoticon emoji or a regular dot. In this case, everything is limited only by the author's imagination.
Second, don't include links in the description text. They will be unclickable, and subscribers will not be able to use them. Consequently, the whole meaning of such links disappears. Of course, they can be copied, but it has already been described above how this is done within the framework of Instagram. Therefore, it is better to save all useful links in the profile description to the “website” column. In this case, they will be active, and subscribers will be able to follow them.
Third (not a mandatory 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 notoverdo it with the number of these emoticons. In addition, it is worth remembering that you need to insert them appropriately, and not haphazardly.
Fourthly, if you want to print some kind of description for a photo: a smart thought, your own reflections, but you don’t know what to write, then it’s better not to do this at all. With a high probability, nothing sensible and interesting will be invented.
