Add your Instagram link in TikTok's bio section

TikTok lets you add one clickable link in your profile bio. To add your Instagram account there, open TikTok and tap the profile icon at the bottom right. Tap "Edit profile" and find the field labeled "Website" or "Bio link". Paste your Instagram profile URL — it looks like instagram.com/yourusername — into that field and save.

This is the most direct way to send TikTok viewers to your Instagram. The link appears as a clickable button below your bio text, and anyone viewing your profile can tap it to go straight to your Instagram account. You can change this link anytime by editing your profile again.

The website field accepts any URL, so you could also link to a landing page, your website, or another social account if you prefer. But if you want TikTok followers to find you on Instagram specifically, the Instagram profile URL is the simplest choice.

Key Takeaways

  • TikTok's profile bio includes one clickable website link — paste your Instagram URL there and save to make it visible to your followers.
  • Your Instagram link appears as a button below your bio text, not as text you have to type out manually.
  • You can change the link anytime by editing your profile, so you are not locked into one choice.
  • If you do not have an Instagram account yet, you will need to create one before you can link to it from TikTok.
  • The bio link works on both the TikTok app and the TikTok website, so followers can reach Instagram from either place.

Where the link appears on your profile

When someone visits your TikTok profile, they see your profile picture, username, and bio text at the top. Below that bio text, TikTok displays your website link as a clickable button. The button usually shows the domain name — so it would display "instagram.com" rather than the full URL you pasted in.

This button is visible to anyone who views your profile, whether they follow you or not. It stays in the same spot every time someone visits, so it is a consistent way to direct traffic to your Instagram account. The link does not expire or require any ongoing action from you once you set it.

How to find your Instagram profile URL

Open Instagram and go to your own profile by tapping your profile icon at the bottom right. Look at the web address in your browser or the URL bar on your phone — it shows something like instagram.com/yourusername. Copy that entire address.

If you are on the Instagram app and do not see a URL bar, open Instagram in a web browser instead. Go to your profile, and the URL bar will show your Instagram profile link. You can copy it from there and paste it into TikTok.

Make sure you are copying your own profile URL, not someone else's. The easiest way to confirm is to check that "yourusername" in the URL matches the username you use to log into Instagram.

What happens after someone clicks the link

When a TikTok viewer taps your Instagram link, their phone opens Instagram and takes them directly to your profile. They do not have to search for you or type your username — the link does the work. If they are not logged into Instagram, they may see a login screen first, but after logging in they will land on your profile.

This makes it straightforward for TikTok followers to find and follow you on Instagram without any extra steps. The link works whether they are using the Instagram app or the Instagram website.

Updating or removing the link later

You can change your Instagram link anytime. Go back to your TikTok profile, tap "Edit profile", and change the URL in the website field to something else — or leave it blank to remove the link entirely. Save your changes, and the new link (or no link) takes effect when ready.

If you change your Instagram username, you will need to update the link in TikTok as well. The old URL will stop working once Instagram changes your username, so check your TikTok bio after any Instagram username change and update it there too.

Using a link shortener if you prefer

Some people use link shorteners like Bit.ly or TinyURL to create a shorter version of their Instagram URL. Instead of pasting instagram.com/yourusername, you could paste a shortened link that redirects to the same place. This is optional — the Instagram URL works fine on its own.

Link shorteners can be useful if you want to track how many people click the link, since some shorteners show click counts. But for most people, pasting the Instagram URL directly is simpler and requires no extra steps.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I add multiple links to different social accounts?

TikTok only allows one clickable link in your bio. If you want to link to multiple accounts, you could use a landing page service like Linktree or Beacons that lets you list multiple links in one place, then paste that landing page URL into TikTok instead.

What if my Instagram account is private?

The link still works the same way. When someone clicks it, they will see your private Instagram profile and can send you a follow request. Your privacy settings do not affect whether the link works or where it takes people.

Does the link work on TikTok's website version?

Yes. The website link appears on your profile whether someone visits you through the TikTok app or through tiktok.com in a web browser. The link works the same way in both places.

What if I do not have an Instagram account yet?

You will need to create an Instagram account first. Once you have an account and know your Instagram username, you can add the link to your TikTok bio. You do not need to do anything special on Instagram — just have the account exist and know your profile URL.

Can I see how many people click my Instagram link?

TikTok does not show click counts for bio links in your analytics. If you want to track clicks, you could use a link shortener with built-in analytics, or set up a landing page that tracks traffic before redirecting to Instagram.
