How to Copy a Link onto Instagram: Quick Guide

Want to share a link on Instagram but don't know how? Don't worry, I've got you covered.

Add a Link to Your Bio

The best place to add a clickable link is your Instagram bio.

Here's how to do it:

1. Open Instagram and go to your profile.
2. Tap Edit profile, then Links.
3. Tap Add external link and paste the URL.
4. Add an optional title and save it. Instagram supports up to five profile links.

Use Instagram Stories for Links

Use Instagram's Link sticker to add a clickable URL to a Story. The retired Swipe Up feature and its old 10,000-follower requirement no longer apply.

1. Open Stories and take a photo or video.
2. Tap the sticker icon and choose Link.
3. Paste the URL, customize the sticker text, and tap Done.
4. Place the sticker where it is easy to see, then publish the Story.

See the complete Instagram Story link guide for placement and tracking tips.

Direct Messages

Sometimes a direct approach works best.

1. Open Instagram and go to Direct Messages.
2. Start a new conversation or open an existing one.
3. Paste the link directly in the message box and hit 'Send'.

Link in Instagram Post Description

Sadly, Instagram doesn't allow clickable links in post descriptions. But here's a nifty trick:

1. Mention in your post caption: 'Link in Bio' or 'Check our Story for the link'.
2. Guide your audience to the link either in your bio or stories.
