Good news! Starting today, Mark Zuckerberg’s app, Instagram, allows you to add up to 5 links on your Instagram profile .
Instagram’s status so far
Until yesterday, the “link in bio” was the only link that could be placed in the profile of Instagram accounts, by placing it below the username and profile description.
This limitation to only one link led to the emergence of new intermediate “link in bio” tools that allowed the user to add more than one link and thus give more tools to users, such as Linktree or Linkin.bio.
It seems that Instagram has decided to counter-attack and eliminate the dependence on these intermediaries, thus, keeping more piece of the pie. But will it work?
Instagram’s new strategy, which now allows users to add up to 5 links to their profiles, aims to achieve this goal.
How to add links in your Instagram bio
To add instagram links we must:
- Click on the edit profile button in your account.
- Go to Links section
- Click on the “add link” option and enter the URL and title.
- Once the first link has been added, the “Add external link” option will appear.
Advantages and disadvantages
Once the links have been added, they will appear directly in our profile.
This is a breakthrough for Instagram and certainly a great opportunity for individuals, influencers, corporations, entrepreneurs and companies to take advantage of.
However, the only flaw that for the moment we found is that to see all the links of an account, you have to deploy the bottom panel, so you can see all the links correctly, something that we do not find entirely practical, but we assume that Instagram will be improving.
Undoubtedly, this update is a threat to the already existing “link in bio”, although we believe that due to its appearance and operation, it will continue to work for a long time.
