Oh man I thought I was the only one when it comes to the naming conventions. I've seen it on Cinnamon as well and it's absolutely annoying if you want to figure out the exact name of the software, only to get hit with "Text Editor" but I suppose this does make it easier for those new to Linux to get accustomed to their new environment (probably also the real reason they do this) though I still wish we could switch that behavior off somehow.

To expand on this: on mobile you can also use the share feature many sites provide to share either to yourself on certain instant messaging apps (afaik WhatsApp and Signal allow this) or, even better, to some note taking apps.

Just watch out for whether or not the target note taking app is cloud based or saves files locally, else you're running the risk of moving the problem OP has mentioned from the social media app to the note taking app.
