To help your Instagram followers find you on other platforms and websites, you can put a link in your Instagram bio. This could be any link of your choice, and we'll show you how to add it to your account.

The link that you add to your Instagram profile will appear right beneath your bio. Unlike URLs in your posts, this will be a clickable link. Unfortunately, you can only have one link at a time in your bio.
