How to copy text on Instagram - all known methods and bots

Some posts on Instagram* are so good that you want to copy them for yourself. Copy to post on your wall or save as a note for later. But it turns out that this cannot be done in the official mobile app. What then to do? We have explored all the main ways in which you can do this. Let's figure it out.

Phone Copy

There are two mobile operating systems that all phones run on - IOS and Android. Each of them has its own working mechanisms and applications are optimized specifically for their OS. The sequence of how to copy text on Insta depends on which device is in the hands - Apple products or the android family. But the number of characters and paragraphs, the design of the text does not affect the copying process. Various links in the text also do not affect copying in any way. Let's figure out how to bypass the restriction and copy everything you need.

iPhone

In order to combat plagiarism, the site administration has disabled the ability to copy texts of notes in its official application. But if necessary, you can copy the text if you do everything step by step.
You need to open the desired post and find three dots in the upper right corner.

Open the desired post

A menu will open in which you should search for the "Copy link" item. After clicking on the button, the link will be saved to the clipboard and will lie there.

Looking for the "Copy link" item

Half of the work is done. Now you need to go to any browser and paste what was previously copied into the address bar. You can use any convenient browser, from Opera to Safari, through which you are used to accessing the Internet.

Done. The post will now open on the web version of Instagram*. Ahead of the most interesting - the process of copying the desired quote.

Paste the link into the search bar in any browser. And then copy the text we need

You need to hold your finger on the text of the publication for a couple of seconds. After that, a selection tool will appear. You will need to set the boundaries within which you need to select and copy the text. After clicking the "Copy" button, the record will also be in the clipboard.

All. Now you can save it in your notes, publish on your behalf on Insta, or do whatever you want with it. We recommend that you save the text in a separate file in your notes. So it definitely won't disappear.

Android

There are two ways to copy text if you have an Android phone. Let's take a look at each one.

Here the process is not much different from what needs to be done on the iPhone. You also need to go to the post in the Instagram application * and click on "share post". After the link is copied, you need to open any browser that is on the phone.

Paste the copied post address from the clipboard into the address bar. When the page with the post opens, click on the part of the page with the text and wait for the selection tool to appear.

The simplest thing left is to highlight what you liked. Then - confirm the copy. To do this, click on "copy".

Done. The text is on the clipboard and you can paste it wherever you want - in your own post, in notes on your phone, or in any text editor.
The second method is a little more complicated - you need to download a special program from the Play Store called Saver Reposter for Instagram *. It is free and small in size, it downloads quickly and will not take up much space.

This is usually the third link, the first after the advertisement. Click on "Install".

The process of copying text is simplified. The Saver application starts.

You must accept the conditions. Right inside the application there is a short instruction on how to use

Opens Instagram*. The link to the post is copied in the above way.

Copy the link according to the instructions above and paste the link to the desired post in the application

The user returns to the Saver and pastes the link to the desired post. Inside the Saver, the post you like will open along with text, hashtags, and an image.

You can copy not only text, but also photos

You need to click on "copy text" if we need to get a quote (you can save photos, hashtags or all at once).

When the text is copied, the message

Done appears. The text is copied (or maybe even along with the picture), you can publish it on your page or in other sources.

If you are making a content plan and copying all the interesting ideas of other users along with hashtags, then we also recommend reading our article on how to work with low-frequency hashtags. In it, we tell you what to do with them, why they are needed and how they can come in handy. Without them, just the text for the posts will not help in the quiz, it will be difficult to define headings or mark the contest. Useful thing.

And if you have already collected ideas, made a content plan, prepared posts for 2 weeks in advance and all that remains is to publish them, schedule publications on Instagram**, VK, Odnoklassniki and other sites through the SMMplanner auto-posting service. This is another automation tool that saves a lot of time.

Copying from a computer

Of course, in the web version from a PC, it is much easier to do this, since the restriction does not prevent you from copying any text you want.

You just need to find a post in which you liked the quote so much. Then - hold down the left mouse button and select all the text that you want to copy.

Everything is done very simply

Then - copy in a convenient way. You can press the right mouse button and select "copy". Or press the key combination on the keyboard ctrl + C.

Done. The copied text can be pasted anywhere.

Additional ways to copy: services, bots

There are other ways to copy the text of a post. Among them are telegram bots, web applications and services. Let's take a look at a few.

Online service "Instasave"

There is an online service called "Instasave". With it, you can save videos, images and text from a social network to your computer. To use it, you need to go to the service website, after copying the link to the desired post.

The link is then inserted into a special field for entering information. The "Download" button is pressed. A post will appear below this line. First, the username of the user who posted the post on Instagram will appear. Then - the text, and under it the photo, if it was attached.

To copy the text, you need to click on the "Copy caption" button. Everything works the same as copying from your phone using Saver Reposter for Instagram*.

Telegram bot

Another popular way to copy text from Instagram* is to use a special Telegram bot. It's called @instasavegrambot. It is used to copy beautiful text in which the font has been changed or there are some symbols, such as ticks or emoticons. It helps when you need to copy brand icons.

In the first window, click on "start".

The bot tells you how to interact with it

For the post description to load, send the link to the post to the bot. It must be copied in advance in the application.

Copy the link to the post

In response, the bot will send two messages. The first will be the photo from the post, and the second will be the text. To get yourself the text of a post from Instagram*, you just need to select it in the bot's message and copy it.

This is what a post looks like inside a chat with a bot

After that, the text will be on the clipboard and you can use it as you like - create a separate entry with it in your account or save it in notes.

You can also get a profile description through this bot. To do this, send the name of the desired profile in a message to the bot. It is important not to forget before the name "@". It looks like this.

A full profile description on Instagram can be easily copied through the bot

When copying through the bot, all settings are saved - an unusual font, special characters or icons.

How to copy text from a comment

Of course, it is much easier to do this from a computer. You just need to open the desired post, select the text and copy in the usual ways. But what if you are on the road and only your mobile is at hand? There are a couple of options.

You can go to the post through the web version of Insta on your phone and copy it. If for some reason it is inconvenient or not desirable to use the browser, you can use a special bot. It's called @getcombot.

Works the same as the @instasavegrambot bot, the instruction will appear if you write /start to it. You just need to send a message to the bot, which will contain a link to the desired post.

You can track through the task monitor when it is ready comments

The link will be in the job queue. It usually takes about 3-10 minutes to process and upload. It all depends on how busy the bot is. The bot sends a monitor of its tasks, so that if necessary, you can check the status of your request.

At the end, the bot sends all comments on Instagram* that were left under the post and not deleted.

A great way to collect all the comments that you need to work out in your profile at once. It helps to increase sales and learn how to work with customer objections if you do this regularly.

Conclusion

There are several ways that you can copy text from an Instagram post through an application, browser or special bots. You can choose the method that is more convenient. But remember that if you use copyrighted content, then you should indicate a link to the source so as not to violate copyright.

You can use any browser for this, such as Safari, Chrome and others.

Then paste the link to the message in the URL field and press Enter to go to it.

If successful, you will be taken to an Instagram post with the comment you want to copy.

When you use Instagram in a browser, Instagram will constantly prompt you to use the app.

You need to be logged into your Instagram account to reduce the number of requests.

Click on the Sign in link on the top navigation bar.

Then sign in to your Instagram account with your login details.

If you don't sign in, you won't be able to use Instagram in the browser because Instagram will keep prompting you to use the app.

Once you find the comment you want to copy, press, hold and press Copy to copy it.

The comment will be copied to the clipboard.

Why can't I copy comments on Instagram?

You cannot copy Instagram comments because there is no such feature in the Instagram mobile app.

What's more, Instagram hopes to prevent spam copying.

On social media platforms such as Twitter, you will be able to copy texts to the mobile application.

However, you won't be able to copy texts in the Instagram mobile app because Instagram doesn't allow it.

Can you copy and paste text from Instagram stories?

No, you cannot copy and paste text from Instagram stories.

The text in Instagram Stories is similar to the text in YouTube videos - you can't copy them.

You can only copy text from Instagram stories while they are being created.

Once you post a story, you will not be able to copy its text.
