Getting Your Profile Link (Mobile App)
Download Article
1 Open Instagram and tap the profile icon. You'll find the Profile icon at the bottom-right corner of Instagram. Depending on your version of the app, it will either be your profile photo or an outline of a person.[1]XResearch source
2 Tap the Share profile button. It's at the top of your profile, just beneath your Instagram bio. Advertisement
3 Tap Copy link. This copies your Instagram profile link to your clipboard, making it easy to paste into a text, email, or app.
If you'd prefer to share a link to your profile without having to copy and paste the link, tap Share profile, then select an app to share with.
You'll also find a QR code here, which you can add to business cards, flyers, and other printed materials to make it easy for people to find your Instagram profile. To save the QR code, just tap Download.[2]XResearch source

1 Log in to Instagram and click Profile. You can use any web browser to sign in to Instagram on your PC, Mac, or Chromebook and get your Instagram link.

2 Copy your Instagram link. To do this, click the address bar at the top of your web browser, then press Ctrl+C (PC/Chromebook) or ⌘ Cmd+C (Mac) to copy it.
