While the Instagram desktop differs slightly from the mobile versions, functionality is the same.
However, some exceptions exist, such as navigational menus and options. Regardless, you can still find an Instagram URL on a PC if desired. Both mobile and PC options allow you to access Instagram account URLs whenever you want, and you can share them wherever you need.
Here’s how to find, send, and manage URLs for profile accounts and posts on Instagram.
Finding your Instagram profile URL is relatively simple whether you want to use Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Safari, or any other browser on a PC, laptop, or mobile device. Here’s how to do it.
So, you could probably say that finding your profile URL is relatively easy using a browser on your PC, laptop, or mobile device. Unfortunately, most people rarely use Instagram on their computers because they’re frequently on the go and have smartphones.
If someone prefers checking the IG feed from a desktop unit, they’ll most likely use a desktop app. This is almost identical to the mobile app and features most functionality.
Regardless, you can’t find your Instagram profile URL directly when using an Instagram app. However, you can use your profile URL by manually typing it in. The URL pattern for Instagram profiles is as straightforward as they come.
Every profile features the Instagram URL and the username combined. So, your Instagram profile URL would be “https://www.instagram.com/username_here.” If you want to send your profile URL to someone or paste it in a field on a website, the easiest way is using the website version of Instagram. Still, you can manually type it in using the default URL structure above.
Instagram has made sharing photos and videos very simple. Below every one of them, there’s a share icon indicating the share feature. That option lets you send the post to any Instagram or Facebook contacts you choose. Yes, both Instagram and Facebook lists appear when using the mobile app. However, sharing an Instagram post’s URL to outside sources (Twitter, email, text message, blogs, forum comments, etc.) requires a different method. Here’s how to get the URL of any Instagram post.
If you’re using a browser on Windows, Mac, or Linux to access Instagram, finding and copying a post’s URL is similar to the Android/iPhone process. However, more choices are available when using the “ellipsis” icon menu.
You can still use the “share icon” to send to Instagram contacts, but Facebook friends are not listed in the browser—they are an option when using the “ellipsis icon.” To better explain how to share an Instagram post URL in a browser, follow the steps below.
Copying Instagram post URLs is as easy as it gets. Click the photo, access the options, and choose your copying/pasting/sharing/sending method.
You may want to copy someone’s Instagram profile URL to have it for reference, or perhaps you want to send the URL to someone else. Regardless of the purpose, you can share the person’s profile using a browser in Windows, Mac, or Linux. You can also do it using the Android or iPhone mobile app. Here’s how to copy an Instagram profile URL.
Copying Instagram profile URLs is easy; you can paste them wherever you need, whenever you need to.
As you can see, Instagram is generally a bit weird about URLs. Some addresses are easy to share and copy, while others (like your profile URL) don’t have a simple “copy” option. Sharing your profile URL is only possible using a browser while other profile URLs are easily copyable using the mobile app and in a web browser on a PC or laptop. Posts, with or without images or videos, are easily copyable in the app or a browser. If you don’t think you’ll ever need to copy URLs on Instagram, the time will come when you will actually need one.

But you can't just find this value - it is not written in the link to the page or somewhere in the account settings. If you want to know your ID from the social network, you can view it through a computer or PC. We will analyze the method in more detail in this article.
If you promote your profile, you may run into a problem - some sites ask you to enter an account ID. To find this value, you will have to use a computer or PC.
In this case, your actions include:
When you add an ID to the network, remember that you are at great risk. If attackers find your Instagram identification number, they will try to hack the page. With this number, it's easier to do it.
And the problem is that every person can find the ID through the browser for any account. Therefore, it is so important to connect two-factor authorization, mail, phone and Facebook in your profile - the systems guarantee that Instagram is safe.
And if Instagram is hacked, you can quickly regain access.
You cannot find services on the Internet that will help you find out the ID. There were no such developments, and the sites that were created for this no longer provide such a function.
Therefore, you will have to work through a mobile browser and VKontakte. So, here's what you need to do:
Many services offer this feature, but this is not true. Now there are no such sites in the network - at least in the Russian media space. Therefore, if you see such an offer, most likely, these are scammers.
Previously, it was possible to quickly view the ID from the phone through the otzberg.net website, but now this is not possible. The service now offers other functions - it no longer reads the identification number.
There are times when you only know the ID number of a person, but do not know the login from his page to find on the social network.
In this case, you can convert the ID to a login. This is done through many services, for example, Tooligram. Let's analyze your actions on the example of this site:
Tuligram also provides additional information on the user profile. To do this, select the task you want to run and click on the "Run" button. After that, you can view the statistics or the date of registration of the Instagram account.
The service provides many interesting features that help you promote, analyze and search for Instagram profiles. Therefore, you can use it not only to convert an ID from Instagram into a nickname, but also for other purposes that will help you become more popular on the social network.

social network with other users or publish it on a third-party portal. To do this, simply copy the address information in the top line of your browser. After successfully sending contact information, the recipient, by clicking on the link, will instantly be on your main account, provided that it is open and the owner has not activated the closed Instagram account.
Each user registered in the service has a unique URL, or, in other words, a working link. If you want to tell other people about your creativity, present the results of your work on partner social networks or on third-party platforms, then you definitely need to know how to share a link to your Instagram profile.
Here's how to find and share an Instagram URL on PC, Mac, iPhone or Android in a few easy steps.
Today, a huge number of people are registered in Insta and lead an active life in it. However, not everyone knows how to copy the URL, which is a combination of the official social network site and your profile name.
If you want to find your Instagram URL through a browser from a computer or mobile phone/tablet and other gadget, you need to follow these steps:
After completing these steps, you will find your Instagram URL in your web browser.
If you want to find your Instagram URL in the app, you need to follow these steps:
If you want to find someone's Instagram URL, go to the profile you want to share. Then click on the icon "three dots" in the upper right corner of the screen and select "Copy profile URL" .
You can use Instagram's chat feature, Instagram Direct, to share any link just like you would with any other messaging app. Just copy the link you want and paste it into your Instagram Direct chat.
However, if you want to add a link to your profile description, you will not be able to use it if you paste it into "Bio" (it will not appear as a link for other users and they will not be able to copy it). Field "Website" is intended for this, so carefully consider the tactics of placing links.
You cannot add a clickable link to an Instagram post in normal posts. The link you put in the description won't be clickable and your subscribers won't be able to copy it from the app. The only way to add a clickable link to a post is to run it as an Instagram promotion. So think carefully about what posts you promote.
Blog monetization works differently on Instagram than on YouTube. On Instagram, reaching 10,000 followers is a turning point: suddenly more doors open and making money on the platform becomes much easier. In addition to more brands offering partnerships, you also get the "Swipe" feature on your stories. Brands love this feature for its 15-25% conversion rate.
Instagram monetization is a legal way to make money, for which the blogger will not be blocked.
Monetizing on Instagram as a blogger provides the main income from attracting brands. The only reason brands will pay money is the influence of the blogger on the target audience.
