Users copy captions or comments for various reasons. Here, we want to mention some of them.
- Share only a part of the whole Instagram post with other people.
- A group of people holds a giveaway on Instagram, so each of them have to make a post with the same caption. It's easier to copy the text from one account and share it with other members. You can add posts both in the app and Instagram browser version.
- Add comments from your Instagram account as examples of feedback on your website. If you don't have it, use Taplink. It's an advanced bio tool that helps people tell about themselves using texts, icons, designs, photos, videos, share their messengers, socials, and links to websites. Add a caption from your own post if it's really important for you or place positive comments about your products if you're an owner of an online shop, for instance.
