Okay, but it’s impossible to write when you post from a desktop, it does not allowed to write, only to choose a picture.

Yes, you can only do it through the app as of now.

Great post! My cover text is showing up truncated (one word per line) like as seen at 0:20 in the YouTube video. I’d like to have a few words per line as seen at 0:17. How can I do this? Thanks! 🙏
Olivia Smith says
Hi Maddison,
I think it all depends on the words you use and their length. Try rephrasing what you’re writing into shorter words and see if that helps!
