Instagram has finally added support for adding up to five links to users' bios, resolving a long-standing feature gap that forced Instagram users to opt for third-party tools like Linktree instead. However, only the first link will appear directly in the bio, while the remaining are hidden in a pop-up context menu. This limitation could encourage some users to keep using a service like Linktree.
Instagram now allows users to add up to five links to their profile bios, a feature that was previously only available through third-party providers like Linktree. The move comes after years of complaints from creators and is likely a response to TikTok's stricter limitations on clickable links. The feature is available to all accounts, including business and creator accounts, and allows users to add links to external websites and their Facebook profile. However, links open within the Instagram app and not in a separate browser window.
