How to copy text from Instagram without using apps

The app does not allow users, natively, to copy text from Instagram, subtitles and comments of posts, nor hashtags. However, you can copy messages sent by Instagram Direct —to do this, just press your finger on the message and copy. This method, however, does not work in the feed or Story.

To copy text from Instagram, you’ll need to use a browser (either on your computer or on your phone). This allows you to copy and paste text, hashtags and emojis without downloading apps on Android and iPhone, in addition to Google Chrome or Safari.

The miracle happens because every Instagram post generates a permalink (URL). This URL can be accessed in a browser and there are the copy and paste functions as on any web page you visit. Scroll the feed and select the content with the mouse. Or, if you’re using your phone, select the snippet with your fingers on the device.

On mobile, it may not work with sponsored posts. The three-dot menu of ad posts does not bring the “copy link” option. This is a post available only on the mobile platform. Ads don’t appear on Instagram Web yet.

To copy bio texts, do the same process. In the three-dot menu, click “copy profile URL” and open in the browser. It is not possible, however, to copy story text because the text is part of the image. Try downloading the photo and using Character Recognition (OCR), available in apps like OneDrive and OneNote.
