How do you link your Facebook profile?
Instagram says the Facebook profile link becomes the first website people see in your bio. Use Reorder links if you'd rather lead with your own site. The page describes a Facebook profile; for a Facebook Page, add its web address as an ordinary link.
- Make sure your Instagram account is in the same Accounts Centre as your Facebook profile.
- Go to your profile and tap Edit profile.
- Tap Links.
- Tap Add external link, then follow the prompts.

How do you write the bio itself?
A bio can be up to 150 characters, and anyone can see it. Our advice for a business: say what you sell and where in the first line, then give one reason to tap your link, such as booking, ordering or a current offer.
- Go to your profile and tap Edit profile.
- Tap Bio, then write your bio.
- Tap Done to save.

- The Facebook option is missing. Add your Instagram account to Accounts Centre first
