You are not alone!
While Instagram may appear to be a land of endless scrolling and double-tapping, there is a hidden way to get the link to any post. With a few clicks, you can become a social media-sharing superhero!
2 Simple Methods to Copy Post Links on Instagram
If you're ready to take your first steps into the huge world of Instagram, you should know that copying a URL is a simple process. It will not take long, and you will be ready to go soon.
You can copy a post's URL to your clipboard using your preferred online or mobile browser on PCs, Macs, and other mobile devices that support Instagram.
On Desktop
If you want to copy the URL from your web browser, the process is fairly straightforward. It'll only take about two minutes. However, you should avoid copying anything else after this because the link will be lost.
Step 1: Open your preferred web browser and navigate to www.instagram.com. (Chrome, Opera, Safari, etc.)
Step 1: Locate the photo or video you wish to use and copy its URL.
Step 2: Next, click the three dots near the top of the post.
Step 3: After that, click the "Copy Link" option to continue the process.
Step 4: The post's link has been successfully copied to your clipboard.
Step 5: You may now share it with others as you choose.
On the Mobile Phone App
If you wish to copy a post link with your mobile device, the methods are nearly the same. You can still paste it wherever you want, and chances are you won't have any difficulty doing so.
Step 1: Open your usual Instagram app and begin surfing around.
Step 2: Find the photo or video you want and copy the link to your clipboard.
Step 3: Next, launch the pop-up menu by tapping on the icon with three vertical dots.
Step 4: Tap on the first option See where to share and link written in blue color right under We’re moving things around.
Step 5: Next, select the "Copy Link" button.
Step 6: The link to this image or video has been copied to your clipboard.
Step 7: You can now share the copied link with others at any time.
While copying Instagram post links is simple, it's important to note that entering the online world, particularly social media platforms, carries inherent security dangers. Third-party trackers can hide behind seemingly safe links, tracking your internet activities and potentially collecting your data.
This stolen data may be used for targeted advertising, identity fraud, or even sold to other hostile actors. Before sharing any links, think about using a tracker blocker extension or a dedicated privacy tool like PurePrivacy to protect your data and provide a more secure online experience.
