Where is the link in bio on Instagram?
Instagram allows you to add one clickable URL to your profile. You can find it by going to your profile, tapping "Edit Profile," and looking for the "Website" or "Links" field. This is your link in bio — the one URL that visitors can tap to leave Instagram and visit your page. Since Instagram only allows one link (or up to five with the newer multi-link feature for some accounts), most creators use a link-in-bio tool like Lynkr to create a landing page with all their links in one place.
Step-by-step: add your link in bio on Instagram
Follow these steps to add or change your Instagram bio link:
Open the Instagram app and go to your profile
Tap "Edit Profile" below your bio text
Find the "Website" or "Links" field
Paste your Lynkr URL (e.g. lynkr.me/yourname)
Tap "Done" or the checkmark to save
Visit your profile to confirm the link appears
What should you link to from Instagram?
Your Instagram bio link is valuable real estate. Here is what works best for different types of creators:
Influencers: link to your Lynkr page with affiliate links, brand collabs, and other socials
Businesses: link to your booking page, online store, or menu
Artists and musicians: link to your latest release, merch store, and streaming profiles
Bloggers: link to your latest post, newsletter sign-up, and portfolio
Coaches and consultants: link to your booking page, courses, and testimonials
