How to Add a Link to Your Threads Bio

To add a link to your Threads bio, open Threads, tap your profile, choose Edit profile, select Link, paste the URL, and tap Done twice to save. Threads supports up to five profile links after its May 2025 update, so if you currently see only one link field, you can still add and save a single URL there.

How do I add a link to my Threads bio?

Open Threads, tap your profile icon, tap Edit profile, tap Link, paste your URL, add an optional title, then tap Done twice to save. Meta says the control is available on "mobile or web" and describes it as "Tap or click 'Add link'," so the same sequence covers phone and desktop.

1. Open the Threads app and tap your profile icon in the bottom-right corner.
2. Tap Edit profile.
3. Tap Link; it may display Add link if you have not added one.
4. Paste your URL, and title it if you want a custom label.
5. Tap Done, then tap Done again on the Edit profile screen to save.
6. Open your saved profile and test the link.

Meta's official @threads account documented this exact sequence on May 15, 2025, writing: "Starting this week, you can edit your profile on mobile or web to add up to 5 external links. Tap or click 'Add link,' then add a URL. If you'd like, you can title your links" (Threads — @threads). Meta's Instagram Help Center states that "you can edit your profile on Threads at any time to update your bio, links and profile picture," which places link editing inside the single Threads Edit profile screen rather than a separate settings menu (Edit your profile on Threads).

Threads bio links do not sync to Instagram: Meta's Instagram Help Center lists "Profile bio and link" among settings managed in "Threads or Instagram" and states that "Changes on Threads will only affect Threads" (Where to manage settings for Threads). Meta also documents the two profile editors in separate help articles — Edit your profile on Threads and Add a website to your Instagram profile — so add the URL in each app individually, save it, and reopen the public profile to confirm the link is live before you share it. If you're updating profiles across platforms, Bluesky uses a different bio field flow for adding a URL to a Bluesky bio.

How many links can I add to Threads?

Threads caps profile links at five. Meta's Newsroom update of May 15, 2025 at 8:00AM PT states, "Now, you can add up to five links to your bio" (Meta Newsroom — New Threads Features for a More Personalized Experience That You Control), and that five-link cap is still the documented maximum as of September 2026.

Meta's official @threads account stated the same day that users can "edit your profile on mobile or web to add up to 5 external links", and Meta's @metanewsroom account announced the identical five-link limit on May 15, 2025.

In the same May 15, 2025 announcement, Meta said it would "begin testing insights for links — in both your profile and posts — to help you understand who's tapping".

Meta's Newsroom described the shipped measurement in the same May 15, 2025 update: "You can also see how many people have visited the links you've shared – whether in your bio or in posts". Meta later documented the control itself: "Tap the icon at the top left of your profile. On web, you can also click the menu at the bottom left, then click on 'Insights'" and then "tap 'Top links,' then 'See all'".

Meta launched Threads on July 5, 2023 at 4:30PM PT, and the five-link bio arrived 22 months later in Meta's May 15, 2025 update, which Meta's @creators account described as "rolling out the ability to add multiple links to your profile".

Instagram enforces its own separate five-link cap: Meta's Instagram Help Center states plainly, "You can add up to 5 websites to your Instagram profile," reached by "Tap Edit profile. Tap Links, then tap Add link to add the URL for your website. Tap Done" (Add a website to your Instagram profile). Threads and Instagram therefore each cap profile links at five as of September 2026, but the two caps are counted and edited independently inside each app's own profile editor.

If you only see space for one link, work through these checks in order:

1. Save the one URL first. A single-link profile still accepts and saves a URL through Edit profile → Link, so your most important destination is live while you troubleshoot.
2. Update the Threads app. Meta described multi-link profiles as rolling out "starting this week" from May 15, 2025; install the current version from your app store, then fully close and reopen Threads before checking the editor again.
3. Try the web app. Meta documents profile editing on "mobile or web" in the same May 15, 2025 post, so open threads.com on a desktop browser and check whether Add link appears there when it does not in the app.
4. Check which app's editor you are in. Meta lists "Profile bio and link" as a setting managed in "Threads or Instagram" and states that "Changes on Threads will only affect Threads" (Where to manage settings for Threads). Instagram's separate editor is reached by "Tap Edit profile. Tap Links, then tap Add link" and holds "up to 5 websites" (Add a website to your Instagram profile), so confirm you opened Threads rather than Instagram before you edit.
5. Re-open your public profile and tap the link. Meta's Help Center frames the editor as the place you "update your bio, links and profile picture", so verify the result on the public profile view rather than trusting the editor screen alone.

Does Threads let me label or reorder my links?

Labels are documented; reordering is not. Meta explicitly offers an optional custom title for each Threads profile link at the moment you paste the URL, so name every link before you save. Meta does not document a reorder control; check your saved profile to confirm the displayed order.

Meta's official @threads account confirmed the title field on May 15, 2025, writing that after you add a URL, "if you'd like, you can title your links". Meta does not document a reorder control: its profile-editing article describes Threads profile editing only as updating "your bio, links and profile picture", so confirm the displayed order on your own saved public profile rather than assuming the editor's order will hold.

Add a short title to each link so visitors know what it leads to before they tap, save the profile, and preview it to confirm the order and appearance. If one destination matters most, make its purpose clear on the destination page so visitors can immediately identify the intended action.

What should I put in my Threads bio link?

Point the link at a destination built for one specific action rather than a general homepage. Meta lets you title each of your five Threads slots and surfaces a "Top links" ranking in insights, so each slot can carry a distinct purpose. Options include:

• A page where followers can ask a question
• A booking page for shoutouts or creator services
• A tipping or support page
• A project-funding page
• A portfolio, newsletter, shop, or main website

For engagement or income, consider linking to a page with one clear next step instead of assuming visitors will navigate through a general homepage. This is a practical recommendation, not a guarantee of higher conversion.

Frequently asked questions

How do I add a Threads link on desktop?

On desktop, open threads.com, go to your profile, click Edit profile, click Add link, paste the URL, add an optional title, and save. Meta documents the desktop control by name: its May 15, 2025 announcement states you can "edit your profile on mobile or web to add up to 5 external links. Tap or click 'Add link,' then add a URL" — the word "click" is Meta's own description of the web flow (Threads — @threads). Meta separately documents a desktop-specific navigation path for Threads link data — "On web, you can also click the menu at the bottom left, then click on 'Insights'" — confirming the web app carries its own profile and link controls. If Add link does not appear on the web app, use the mobile app instead.

Can I add more than one link to my Threads bio?

Yes — up to five. Meta's @threads account announced on May 15, 2025 that you can "add up to 5 external links" to a Threads profile, and Meta's @metanewsroom account published the same five-link figure that day. Add them through Edit profile → Link. If you currently see only one field, add that URL and update the app before checking again.

Does my Threads link have to differ from my Instagram bio link?

No. You can use the same URL on both profiles, and each platform allows five: Meta's Instagram Help Center states "You can add up to 5 websites to your Instagram profile" (Add a website to your Instagram profile), while Meta's @threads account documents a separate five-link allowance for Threads. Meta states that "Changes on Threads will only affect Threads" for the "Profile bio and link" setting (Where to manage settings for Threads), so paste, save, and test the URL separately in each app rather than assuming it copies over.

What is the best kind of link for a Threads bio?

The best link depends on your goal. Use a page with a clear next step, such as asking a question, booking a service, leaving a tip, joining a newsletter, or supporting a project. Preview the destination on mobile to ensure the intended action is obvious; no particular destination guarantees more conversions.

Does Threads pay me for taps on my bio link?

Meta documents no payment attached to Threads bio-link taps. Its Instagram Help Center states that "partnership ads and boosting organic branded posts are not currently available on Threads" (About branded content on Instagram), and Meta's May 15, 2025 Newsroom update describes link measurement only — "You can also see how many people have visited the links you've shared" — with no payout. Any payment happens on the destination page your bio link points to. For the full sourced breakdown, see does Threads pay creators.

Disclosure: FanBell is our own product (one example destination)

The steps above work with any URL, so this section is a labelled product disclosure rather than a sourced claim. FanBell — the product that publishes this page — is one example of a paid destination: a page where followers can pay for a paid private question, a personalized shoutout, a small creator service, a tip, or project support.

The following are FanBell's own self-published product claims, taken from FanBell's site and accessed September 2026, not independent verification: FanBell's how it works page states that FanBell is "free to start with no monthly fee" and that "a 12% platform fee applies only when a fan actually pays you"; its pricing page states "Free to start. No subscription required for the beta — you only pay when a fan pays you"; and FanBell's homepage FAQ states there is "no follower minimum and nothing to apply for." Paste the same URL into both your Threads and Instagram link fields, then save and test each separately, since Meta states that "Changes on Threads will only affect Threads" (Where to manage settings for Threads).
