Copy the link. If you're on Chrome, you can right-click the Profile option and then click Copy link address . If you've already navigated to your profile, you should see your URL in the address bar. You can copy that.
- For example, the link will show " https://www.instagram.com/YourUsername/ ".
- Once you have this copied, you can paste it anywhere so others can find your Instagram account.

Open Instagram. This app icon looks like a camera lens on a purple to orange gradient background.
- Sign in if prompted.
- Although you can do this on the mobile app, using a web browser is much easier.
{"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/8\/82\/Get-Instagram-Link-Step-5.jpg\/v4-460px-Get-Instagram-Link-Step-5.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/8\/82\/Get-Instagram-Link-Step-5.jpg\/v4-728px-Get-Instagram-Link-Step-5.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fair_use\">Fair Use<\/a> (screenshot)<br>\n<\/p><\/div>"}

You'll see it in the top left corner of your profile page. You'll need to note this so you can create the link.

- Once you have this information, you can send your URL to anyone using apps like Messages or Mail .
