How to Find and Copy Your Own Instagram Profile Link

Sadly, Instagram doesn’t offer an easy way to find or share your own Instagram profile link on mobile apps. However, there are workarounds to find, copy, and share Instagram profile links. These methods are applicable for both personal and business profiles.

Method 1: By Finding Username

Your Instagram profile is made up of three parts: Instagram’s website address (i.e., www.instagram.com) followed by a forward slash (/) and your username. So if your username is techwiser, your Instagram profile link will be www.instagram.com/techwiser. You can copy and paste this link into different social media apps.

Now, if you don’t know your Instagram username, there are two ways to find it.

1. Find Username From Profile

1. In the Instagram app, tap on the profile picture icon at the bottom-right corner to go to your profile.

2. You will see your username at the top.

3. Note it down and append it to www.instagram.com/ to make your Instagram profile link. For instance, my profile link will be www.instagram.com/mehviish. Then, copy this link and paste it wherever required.

2. Find Username Using Edit Profile

Another way to find the IG username is to tap on the Edit profile button on your profile screen. You will find the username listed under the Username field. Select and copy it. Then, add it to http://www.instagram.com/ to generate your Instagram profile link.

Method 2: Using Desktop

If you have access to a computer, you can easily find your Instagram profile link.

1. Open www.instagram.com on a PC and log in to your Instagram account.

2. Click on the profile picture icon at the top and go to Profile from the menu.

3. Now, simply copy the link that shows in the address bar. That is your Instagram profile link. You can paste it on WhatsApp, Twitter, Reddit, YouTube, etc.

Pro Tip: Similarly, you can find and copy the link using the Instagram mobile website in a browser.

Instagram provides a native feature to generate a QR code for your profile. You need to share this QR code with others who will then scan the code to view your IG profile.

1. In the Instagram app, go to your profile screen by tapping on the profile picture icon.

2. Tap on the three-bar icon at the top and select QR Code from the menu.

3. Your QR code will show up. You can either take a screenshot or tap on the Share icon and send it to others.

You can customize the background style of the QR code by tapping on the button at the top. Similarly, tap on the screen to switch between the available styles.

Can others see my other Instagram accounts?

As it is a new feature through which we can link our accounts, we don't know much about it. But actually no one can see your linked accounts. Only the owner of those accounts can do so. So, don't worry about it, no one will know it until you tell them about it.
