How to add multiple links in your Instagram bio
Instagram no longer limits every account to a single website field. You can add multiple links in your Instagram bio — typically up to five native links from Edit profile → Links. They show as a compact “links” row that followers tap to expand. If you need more than five destinations, analytics, or embeds (Spotify, YouTube, forms), put a link in bio page in one of those slots.
Native Instagram links vs a link in bio page
You have two ways to offer multiple links in an Instagram bio:
- Native links: up to five URLs saved in Instagram. Fast to set up. Limited titles, no click analytics, no images or embeds, and a collapsed list on the profile.
- A link in bio page: one URL that opens a mobile page with all your buttons. Better when you rotate offers, want more than five destinations, or need a Spotify player, form, or blog.
Many creators use both: a hub URL as the first native link, plus a couple of evergreen native links (shop, booking).
How to add up to five Instagram bio links
Use the Instagram mobile app:
- Open your profile and tap Edit profile.
- Tap Links.
- Tap Add external link.
- Paste the URL (with https://), add a short title, tap Done.
- Repeat until you have up to five links. Reorder if Instagram shows a drag handle.
Each URL must be a real web address. App-only deep links often fail. For a clickable Instagram bio link, never paste the address only in the bio paragraph.
Titles, order, and what visitors see
Followers usually see a collapsed row such as “3 links,” not five full buttons. The first link is the one people reach with the least effort. Use it for the current campaign or for your hub page.
Write titles like “Shop,” “Book a call,” or “New single” — not the raw domain. Keep them under roughly 30 characters so they do not truncate.
When a link in bio page is the better option
Choose a hub page when you need any of the following:
- More than five destinations
- Frequent updates without editing Instagram each time
- Click tracking, a contact form, or a blog
- Embeds such as Spotify or YouTube on the same mobile page
Create a free link in bio (for example yourname.tomy.bio), add your buttons, then paste that one URL as an Instagram native link. The Instagram field stays stable; the page content changes.
Hybrid setup: native links plus one hub
A practical layout: slot 1 = your link in bio page (full menu). Slots 2–4 = the two or three URLs you never want buried (store, WhatsApp, booking). Leave a spare slot for a seasonal campaign.

Why tomy.bio beats five native Instagram links
Instagram’s native list is a start: up to five URLs, collapsed behind a count like “3 links.” Followers extra-tap to expand, there are no images or embeds, and you get no click analytics. Five raw destinations also means five URLs to keep in sync when a sale ends.
A tomy.bio page as slot 1 (or as your only native link) is stronger. Everyone who taps opens a full mobile hub: as many buttons as you need, a Spotify or YouTube block if you want it, a form or blog, and a layout you design. The Instagram field stays https://yourname.tomy.bio while the page behind it changes. Native slots 2–5 can still hold evergreen URLs if you want the hybrid setup above.
How tomy.bio helps
Free tomy.bio includes yourname.tomy.bio, unlimited link blocks, multiple pages, a blog, contact forms, analytics (views, clicks, top links), SEO, and multilingual — visual editor, no code, no card required. That is the gap native Instagram Links cannot close: you outgrow five untitled URLs without editing the profile every week.
- One stable bio URL you paste once — Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and captions can all say “link in bio.”
- Analytics (views, clicks, top links) so you see which button earns the tap.
- Forms, extra pages, and a blog if you need more than a list of URLs.
- Free includes the subdomain, unlimited blocks, SEO, and a language switcher with no credit card. Pro adds a custom domain, AI writer/translator, and removing the watermark.
How to add your tomy.bio link to Instagram
- Sign up on tomy.bio, choose a username, and add your links in the order visitors should see them.
- Copy https://yourname.tomy.bio.
- Instagram → Edit profile → Links → Add external link. Paste the tomy.bio URL first. Title it “All links” or “Link in bio.”
- Optionally add two or three native URLs after it for the destinations you never want buried. Save and test the tap.
FAQ
How many links can I add to my Instagram bio? Instagram’s native Links field typically allows up to five external links. For more than five, or for a designed page with buttons and embeds, use a link in bio URL as one of those slots.
Do I need a business account to add multiple Instagram links? You do not need to pay. Public personal, creator, and business accounts can use the Links editor. If you do not see Links, update the app and confirm you are editing from the mobile profile.
Why do visitors only see “3 links” instead of every URL? Instagram collapses extra links into a count. Followers tap that row to open the list. Put your main destination first so people who only tap once still land in the right place — or use a single hub page instead.
Can I add more than five links in my Instagram bio? Not as five-plus separate native URLs. Point one native link to a link in bio page and list as many buttons as you need there. You can still keep a few native links for your top destinations.
Should my first Instagram link be tomy.bio or my shop? Make tomy.bio the first native link if you have more than a couple of destinations. Shop, WhatsApp, and booking can live as buttons on the page (and as extra native slots if you still want one-tap shortcuts).
Does tomy.bio show which of my multiple links get clicks? Yes. Analytics include page views and top links by clicks. Instagram’s collapsed native list does not.
Summary
To add multiple links in your Instagram bio, open Edit profile → Links and add up to five external URLs with titles. They collapse into a tap-to-expand list. For unlimited links, branding, and embeds, put a link in bio page in one native slot and keep Instagram updated only when the hub URL changes — which should be almost never.
The hub that scales is tomy.bio: unlimited buttons, analytics, forms, and extra pages behind yourname.tomy.bio, with the option to keep a few native Instagram links next to it.
