Want to Copy the Instagram Caption? Then, by following methods in this article, you can do so.
On Instagram when we like a post, then we either take a screenshot of it or save it in a collection. Even, by using third-party apps you can even download Instagram Reels, stories, and photos. But, by default, Instagram doesn’t provide an option to copy Instagram’s captions, Comments, and Bio. This means you cannot copy text from Instagram. However, the Facebook app lets users copy captions and comments by long-pressing them. But, on Instagram, nothing happens when you do the same. Also, taking screenshots to keep captions or comments for later is not a good idea.
No worries, with a simple trick, you will be able to copy from Instagram. There are a few ways to copy Instagram captions, comments, and bios and paste them anywhere. On iPhone and Android, you can either use a browser, third-party websites, or OCR technology to do so. So without further ado, let’s begin. You can also now watch Instagram Reels on PC without Phone. And, can copy texts easily.
