Instagram now lets you add up to five links to your profile: How to use it

Meta has added a new feature to Instagram that will enable users to add more than one links to their profiles. Until now, Instagram allowed users to add only one link to their profiles. Users who wanted to add more links to their Instagram profiles had to use third-party services such as Linktree and other ‘link-in-bio’ solutions for the purpose. But now, Instagram’s new feature will enable users to add up to five links to their Instagram profiles.

The new feature was announced by Meta founder Mark Zuckerberg via its official channel on the photo and video sharing platform. “You can now add up to 5 links in your Instagram bio,” Zuckerberg wrote in the Meta Channel on Instagram. “Probably one of the most requested features we’ve had,” he added.

The new feature not only gives brands and content creators more flexibility in terms of providing their subscribers more than one way of connecting with them, but it also shows the company’s inability of understanding their users’ needs, which in turn has allowed companies like Linktree to thrive.

That said, if you are an avid Instagram user and you want to add more than one links to your profile’s bio, here is a step-by-step guide of what you need to do.
