How to add a TikTok link in your Instagram bio
To add a TikTok link in your Instagram bio, paste your public TikTok profile URL into Instagram’s Links field. A URL typed into the bio paragraph will not be tappable. Use https://www.tiktok.com/@yourusername (or a specific video URL if you are promoting one clip). If you also share YouTube, a shop, and WhatsApp, put TikTok on a link in bio page so Instagram stays one tap away from all of them.
Copy your TikTok profile or video URL
On TikTok, open your profile. Tap Share → Copy link. The result looks like https://www.tiktok.com/@username. For a single video, open the video → Share → Copy link. That URL is longer and includes the video id.
Prefer the tiktok.com host over in-app-only share sheets that produce tracking redirects you have not tested.
Add the TikTok URL to Instagram
- Instagram profile → Edit profile → Links.
- Add external link, paste the TikTok URL with https://.
- Title it “TikTok” or “Watch on TikTok.” Save and tap it from your profile to confirm it opens.
If the link is not tappable, you put it in bio text. Follow how to add a clickable link in Instagram bio.
Profile link vs a specific video
A profile URL is the default: it ages well. A video URL is better for 48 hours after a post when you want Instagram traffic on that clip. When the push is over, switch back to the profile or to a hub page so you are not sending people to an old sound.
Cross-promote without wasting link slots
Instagram’s native list tops out at about five links. If TikTok is only one of several channels, add it as a button on a free link in bio page and keep Instagram’s first slot for the hub — or for the one offer that pays the bills.
Going the other direction (Instagram traffic from TikTok) uses a different field. See how to add a link in TikTok bio.

Why a tomy.bio link beats a raw TikTok URL
A TikTok profile URL in Instagram is a valid first step. It is also a wasted slot if you also have a shop, YouTube, or WhatsApp: the tap can only open TikTok. A viral-video URL goes stale in two days. You then edit Instagram again.
Put https://yourname.tomy.bio in Instagram and add TikTok as one button (profile or current video). The bio URL stays put. You swap the TikTok button when a clip peaks, and keep merch or booking on the same page.
How tomy.bio helps
Free tomy.bio gives yourname.tomy.bio, unlimited buttons, extra pages, forms, a blog, analytics, and SEO — visual editor, no code. TikTok sits next to everything else instead of owning the only clickable Instagram link. Analytics show whether people actually tap TikTok or the shop.
- 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
- Create your tomy.bio page and add a button labeled “TikTok” with https://www.tiktok.com/@username.
- Copy https://yourname.tomy.bio.
- Instagram → Edit profile → Links. Paste tomy.bio, title it “Links,” save, and test. Change the TikTok destination on tomy.bio whenever you promote a new video.
FAQ
How do I add my TikTok to my Instagram bio? Copy https://www.tiktok.com/@yourusername from TikTok (Share profile → Copy link). In Instagram, Edit profile → Links → Add external link, paste it, add a title like “TikTok,” and save.
Can I put a TikTok username in my Instagram bio instead of a URL? You can write @yourtiktok in the bio text so people search for you, but that is not a tap-to-open TikTok link. For a clickable destination, use the full https://www.tiktok.com/@username URL in Links.
Will Instagram block a TikTok URL? TikTok profile URLs are normally allowed. If a link fails, check https://, remove extra tracking parameters if needed, and test in a browser. Do not use a shady shortener.
Should I link a viral video or my TikTok profile? Use a video URL for a short campaign. Use the profile URL as the default so new followers land on your latest content after the campaign ends.
Should Instagram’s clickable link be TikTok or tomy.bio? Use tomy.bio if you also share shop, YouTube, or WhatsApp, or if you rotate which video you push. Put TikTok on the page as a button so the Instagram URL never goes stale.
Summary
Add a TikTok link in your Instagram bio by copying https://www.tiktok.com/@username (or a video link) and pasting it in Edit profile → Links with a clear title. Usernames in the bio text are not the same as a tappable URL. For several socials at once, put TikTok on a link in bio page.
The complete setup is tomy.bio in Instagram and TikTok as a button on that page, so you can rotate clips without editing the bio URL.
