Instagram profile link: how to copy it and add links to your bio and Stories
Your Instagram profile link is instagram.com/ followed by your username, for example instagram.com/yourname. In the app, open your profile, tap Share profile and choose Copy link. On a computer, copy it from the address bar. To add other links to your own profile, tap Edit profile, then Links > Add external link: Instagram allows up to 5, and in Stories you use the link sticker.
How to find and copy your Instagram profile link
iPhone and Android: open Instagram and tap your profile picture at the bottom right. Under your bio, next to Edit profile, tap Share profile. Instagram shows your QR code with a few options: tap Copy link.
Computer: go to instagram.com, click Profile in the left menu and copy the address from your browser's address bar. It looks like https://www.instagram.com/yourname/.
Type it yourself: write instagram.com/ and your username, without the @. If you change your username, your link changes too, so update it wherever you shared it.
How to share your Instagram profile link
Paste it with one line of context, like "Follow us for new arrivals: instagram.com/yourname". It works in a WhatsApp chat, your email signature, your website or your bio on other apps. In person, open Share profile and let the other person scan your QR code with their camera.
One link for Instagram and everything else
Your Instagram link only opens Instagram. If people also need your shop, your WhatsApp or your TikTok, put all your social links in one place: a free atom.bio page you share instead of four separate links. That page is also what you add to your Instagram bio, so followers reach everything else from there. New to the idea? Here's what “link in bio” means.
How to add a link to your Instagram bio
Step 1: Get your link ready: in the atom.bio editor, tap Share your page and copy your address (atom.bio/your-name).
Step 2: open Instagram and go to your profile.
Step 3: tap Edit profile.
Step 4: tap Links and then Add external link (older versions show a Website field instead).
Step 5: paste your URL, add a title and tap Done.
Step 6: open your public profile, ideally from another account, and tap the link to test it.
Shortcut: in the atom.bio editor, tap Share your page, choose Add your link to your profiles and pick Instagram. We open Instagram's Edit profile page for you.
For ideas on what to put on that page, see our link in bio for Instagram guide. If most of your sales happen in chat, our link in bio with WhatsApp page shows how to put a WhatsApp button right at the top.
How to share your link in Instagram Stories
Step 1: open the story editor and create a photo, video or background.
Step 2: tap the sticker icon and choose the Link sticker.
Step 3: enter your atom.bio URL.
Step 4: change the sticker text so it says what people will find, like See prices or Book here.
Step 5: publish the story, and save important stories to a highlight so they stay on your profile.
Where else to mention your link on Instagram
Links in captions, Reels descriptions and comments aren't clickable, so use them to remind people what they can do from your bio. Instead of only writing "link in bio", be specific: link in bio to book, link in bio for prices, link in bio to order by WhatsApp or link in bio for the full catalog. Story highlights and direct messages work too: links you send in a DM can be tapped.
Example messages for your link on Instagram
The best messages are short and tied to the next step. Try View the catalog, Book here, Order by WhatsApp, See prices, Read reviews, Get the free resource, Join the list or See all my links.
Examples for businesses and creators
A restaurant can send followers to the menu, location and WhatsApp orders. A salon can link to booking, services and reviews. A shop can feature a digital catalog, promotions and support. A consultant can link to a contact form, calendar and case studies. A creator can group collaborations, affiliate links, newsletter, videos and community links.
Common mistakes when sharing your link on Instagram
Changing the bio link often without updating your captions. Using vague wording next to your link. Hiding WhatsApp or booking below too many links. Forgetting to test the link from a second account. Sending people to a page that doesn't match what the post promised.
Instagram profile link FAQ
What is my Instagram profile link?
It's instagram.com/ followed by your username, without the @. For example, if your username is @yourname, your link is instagram.com/yourname.
How do I copy my Instagram profile link on my phone?
Open your profile in the Instagram app, tap Share profile and choose Copy link. It works the same on iPhone and Android.
Why is my Instagram profile link not working?
Check the spelling of the username and that you haven't changed it since you shared the link. If your account is private, the link opens your profile but people only see your posts after you accept their follow request.
Can I use atom.bio as my Instagram link in bio?
Yes. Add your atom.bio URL to your Instagram profile so followers can open all your important links from one place.
How many links can I add to my Instagram bio?
Instagram lets you add up to 5 links, but your profile shows the first one and hides the rest behind a tap. One link in bio page with everything on it is easier for followers.
Can I share my atom.bio page in Instagram Stories?
Yes. Use the link sticker and paste your atom.bio URL. For evergreen content, save the story to a highlight.
What should I put at the top of my page for Instagram visitors?
Put the action you mention most on Instagram first: catalog, WhatsApp, booking, latest post, free resource, product page or contact form.
