Instagram and Facebook can be like two arms of the same social media creature in your life: the former can be the repository for all the images that define your life with little bits of text added for context, while the latter is your life's ongoing conversation with images to add some color.
Adding your Instagram link to your Facebook bio can also help you get more viewings on your snaps, potentially helping your potential side career as an influencer.
Here's how to add an Instagram link to your Facebook bio section.
To start, you'll want to find and copy your Instagram URL. Afterward, do the following:
1. Log into your Facebook account on a PC or Mac.
2. Click on your profile image at the top of the screen.
3. Click the "About" under your cover photo and then "Contact and Basic Info" on the left-hand menu.

If you’re a new Instagram user, you will need to learn how to share your Instagram profile link. This can be useful when you need to link your Instagram with other social media platforms like YouTube or Facebook.

Copying a direct link seems like the easiest way to share an Instagram profile link.
However, that option is not available if you’re using the Instagram app. Fortunately, there’s a workaround for this.
All Instagram profile links are made out of three parts: The Instagram website address (https://www.instagram.com), a forward slash (/), and a username. That means that if you just add a forward slash and your username to the Instagram website address, you’ll get your Instagram profile link.
It should look something like this: instagram.com/username.
You can copy this link to any other social media you want.
Sometimes people simply don’t know their user names. If that’s the case, you’ll have to find your username from your profile. Here’s how:
1. Open Instagram.
2. Tap your profile picture icon in the bottom right corner of your screen. This will take you to your profile.
3. Your username will be displayed at the top left corner of the profile page.
Make a note of your user name so you can create your Instagram profile link with it.
According to the example above, this profile’s link should be www.instagram.com/dag_tairwi.
An alternative is to go to Edit profile, and under the username section you can find your username.
