Hey Instagram user! How many times did you lose the opportunity to learn more about relevant information in a post because you did not want to type the link URL in your browser or go to the profile's bio? And you, content creator, how many times have you given up publishing a link to your product in the feed because no user would open it? You had to put a link in the "Bio," but there is room for just one link in all posts. And all other publications? Register all links on an external website and wait for the users to click? No way. Just insert your link into your publication, and everyone who has InstaGrabLink installed will open it easily. Keep the InstaGrabLink installed and unlock this feature! Share this app with your audience and friends to increase conversions in your business. To open links in the public posts, do the following steps: 1. In the Instagram publication, tap on the three dots button; 2. Tap "Copy link"; 3. Open the iGrabLink app. That is all! Bonus: you will be able to repost!

About

Y

Read full description

The Y is a place where you can save and share your heartfelt words, thoughts, ideas, secrets - and anything else you want to communicate to the world. In the event of your passing, your writings will be published publicly and/or sent to people you have chosen in advance. How the app works: - Creating notes: You create entries for a shared feed and/or personalized messages. These entries are saved as drafts and are not available to other users until they are published. - Setting an inactivity timer: The main feature of the app is an “inactivity timer” that counts down from the last time you logged into the app. You choose how much time must pass (e.g. 15, 30, 60 or 90 days) before your entries are published after your last login. - Activity monitoring: The app monitors your activity. If you continue to use the app, the timer resets and your entries remain in drafts. - Automatic publishing: If you don't log in to the app for a set period of time, the system assumes you can no longer do so. After this period expires, your entries are automatically published to the feed and/or sent to people of your choice. - Shared feed: All entries that have been published after the inactivity timer expires appear in the shared feed. This is a space where other users can read them. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
