Adding your Instagram link to your Facebook profile lets people who find you on Facebook follow you on Instagram with one tap. Facebook doesn’t put clickable links inside the short bio text itself; the link sits in the Links or Contact info part of your profile, right under your bio.
For creators and marketers who care about link performance, Replug.io lets you brand, shorten, and track your shared URLs so every click tells a story.
Quick answer: in the Facebook app, go to your profile, tap Edit profile (on a pro mode profile or Page: Options > Edit), tap Add next to Links, then Add social link. Pick your Instagram account under Available from Accounts Center, or choose Instagram and type your username, then tap Save. These are the steps in Meta’s Business Help Center.
There are three ways to show your Instagram on Facebook, and which one you use depends on the kind of Facebook presence you have:
- A social link on your profile: the steps below, for personal profiles, pro mode profiles and Pages.
- Your Meta Account (Accounts Center): if Facebook and Instagram are in the same Meta Account, you can switch on a link to your Instagram profile without typing anything.
- A Page connection: businesses and creators can connect a professional Instagram account to a Facebook Page, which also lets them share posts across both.
Below are the steps for the Facebook app and for a computer, then the Accounts Center and Page options, and what to check if the link doesn’t show. At the end there’s a way to put Instagram, Facebook and everything else behind one link with a Replug bio link page.
How to add your Instagram link to your Facebook bio on mobile
These steps work in the Facebook app for iPhone and Android. Our screenshots are from an older version of the app, so some labels may look a little different on your phone; the menu names below follow Meta’s help article on social links (personal details in the screenshots are blurred).
Step 1: Open the Facebook app, tap your profile picture, then tap your name to open your profile.
Step 2: Tap Edit profile. On a pro mode profile or a Page, tap Options, then Edit.
Step 3: Scroll to Links and tap Add (or Edit if you already have links).
Step 4: Tap Add social link.
Step 5: If your Instagram account is already in Accounts Center, select it under Available from Accounts Center. If not, choose Instagram from the platform list and enter your username; Facebook may ask you to add the account to Accounts Center by signing in to Instagram.
Step 6: Choose whether to show your Instagram follower count, then tap Save. Your Instagram handle now shows on your profile.

How to add your Instagram link to your Facebook bio on a computer
Step 1: Log in to Facebook on your computer browser.
Step 2: Click your profile picture in the top right, then click your name to open your profile.
Step 3: Click About, then Contact and basic info, as described in Facebook’s help page on editing profile info.
Step 4: Under Websites and social links, click the add option (Add a website or Add a social link, depending on your version).
Step 5: Paste your Instagram profile URL (instagram.com/yourusername), set the audience to Public so everyone can see it, and click Save. Facebook lets you pick Public, Friends or Only me for this info, so a link set to Friends won’t show to people you aren’t friends with.
Show your Instagram link through your Meta Account
If your Facebook and Instagram profiles are in the same Meta Account (Accounts Center), Facebook can show a link to your Instagram profile for you. Per Facebook’s help page on cross-profile experiences:
- Open the Facebook app and tap Menu.
- Tap Settings and Privacy, then Settings.
- Tap Meta Account, then Cross-profile experiences.
- Tap Showing links for your profiles and choose your Facebook profile.
- Turn on the toggle next to your Instagram profile. You can also choose whether the link shows your Instagram follower count.
Add Instagram to a Facebook Page
A Page has the same Links and Contact info sections as a profile, and social media links go under Contact info, per Facebook’s help page on Page information. You can add your Instagram there with the mobile steps above.
Businesses and creators can also connect a professional Instagram account to the Page. That isn’t just a link: it enables cross-posting, shared insights and Instagram’s business tools, and anyone with access to either account can manage both. You do it from the Instagram app, per Meta’s help article on connecting a Page:
- In Instagram, go to your profile and tap Edit profile.
- Scroll to Public business information (business account) or Profile information (creator account).
- Tap Page, then Connect or create, and log in to Facebook.
- Choose the Page and tap Connect.
Add your Facebook link to Instagram too
It works the other way as well. In the Instagram app, go to your profile, tap Edit profile, then Links and Add external link, according to Instagram Help. Your Instagram account has to be in Accounts Center for the Facebook link option. Instagram allows up to five links in a bio (Instagram Help).
Why your Instagram link isn’t showing on Facebook
- The audience isn’t Public. Contact info and links can be set to Friends or Only me; set the link to Public.
- The account isn’t in Accounts Center. The quickest social link option and the Meta Account toggle only list Instagram accounts added to the same Meta Account.
- Your profile is Meta Verified. Meta says social links are not yet available for Pages or pro mode profiles that are Meta Verified.
- The feature hasn’t reached you yet. Facebook notes that some profile fields are “not yet available to everyone”, so your menu may differ.
- A typo in the URL. Open your link in a private browser window to check that it goes to your Instagram profile.
One link for Instagram, Facebook and everything else
Facebook shows a handful of social links, and Instagram allows five. If you want one address that holds all of them plus your shop, newsletter or latest video, use a bio link page. With Replug you build the page in the Bio Links editor, publish it on mylinkinb.io or your own domain, and see views and clicks per link. The Free plan includes 2 bio link pages, per replug.io/pricing.
To build one for Facebook, try the Facebook link in bio tool.
