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.
Making Your Own Instagram Profile Link
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.
