Where Can I Find My Instagram URL?

Your Instagram URL is https://www.instagram.com/yourusername. Replace "yourusername" with your actual Instagram username. You can find and copy it in under 5 seconds from any device.

Here is the step-by-step guide for finding your Instagram URL on mobile and desktop.

How to find your Instagram URL on mobile (iPhone and Android)

1. Open the Instagram app on your phone
2. Tap the profile icon in the bottom right corner
3. Your username appears at the top left of the screen
4. Your Instagram URL is: https://www.instagram.com/ followed by that username

1. Go to your profile
2. Tap the three-line menu in the top right
3. Tap "QR code" or "Share profile"
4. Tap "Copy link" to copy your full URL to your clipboard

How to find your Instagram URL on desktop

How to change your Instagram URL

Your Instagram URL is based on your username. To change your URL, you need to change your username:

1. Open Instagram on your mobile device
2. Go to your profile and tap "Edit Profile"
3. Tap on your username field
4. Type your new username
5. Tap the checkmark to confirm

Important: Your old URL will stop working immediately after you change your username. Anyone with your old URL will get a "page not found" error. Update your URL everywhere you have shared it (website, email signature, business cards, other social media profiles).

Where should you share your Instagram URL?

Once you have your URL, share it in these places to grow your audience:

• Your website (header, footer, and contact page)
• Email signature (every email you send becomes a growth opportunity)
• Other social media profiles (LinkedIn, Twitter/X, TikTok, Facebook)
• Business cards (or a QR code that links to your profile)
• Marketing materials (flyers, brochures, packaging)
• Blog posts (link to your Instagram when relevant)

Frequently asked questions

What is the format of an Instagram URL?

Every Instagram profile URL follows the same format: https://www.instagram.com/username. Replace "username" with the exact username of any account. This format works for personal accounts, business accounts, and creator accounts. Instagram URLs are not case-sensitive, so https://www.instagram.com/GoSoio and https://www.instagram.com/gosodotio both work.

Can I create a custom Instagram URL?

No, Instagram does not offer custom URLs. Your URL is always https://www.instagram.com/ followed by your username. The only way to change your URL is to change your username in your profile settings. Choose a username that is memorable, easy to spell, and matches your brand name.

How do I find someone else's Instagram URL?

Go to their Instagram profile, tap the three-dot menu in the top right, and select "Copy profile URL" or "Share profile." On desktop, simply navigate to their profile and copy the URL from your browser's address bar. The URL will always be https://www.instagram.com/ followed by their username.

Does my Instagram URL change if I switch to a business account?

No. Switching between personal, business, and creator accounts does not change your Instagram URL. Your URL only changes if you change your username.
