How to Type Persian on Instagram
Before you post, you need to be able to type in Farsi on your device. Here is how to enable the Persian keyboard on iPhone and Android.
📱 iPhone / iOS
Settings → General → Keyboard → Keyboards → Add New Keyboard → Persian. Once added, tap the globe icon when typing to switch to the Persian keyboard. For Farsi script, use “Persian” not “Persian (QWERTY).”
🤖 Android
Settings → General Management → Language and Input → On-screen keyboard → Manage keyboards → Enable Persian. Alternatively, download the Google Persian keyboard from the Play Store — it is the most reliable option for Android.
Remember: Persian reads right to left
When you type in Persian, text flows from right to left and Instagram handles this correctly. If you paste Persian text and it appears reversed, try typing it in the caption field directly rather than copying from another app. The script should display correctly for all viewers on Instagram.
