The first way to add a Telegram link to your Instagram bio is the easiest. However, it limits you to a single link in your bio. If you are determined to increase your audience, we recommend the second way.
This is what a Telegram link looks like in an Instagram bio when it is put in the profile settings:
Here is how you can add a Telegram link to your Instagram bio in the profile settings:

This way to add a Telegram link to your Instagram bio takes a little more time. But don't worry, you can do this in 7 minutes if you use our guide. Do it and you will be able to share all your links in your bio together: your account, bot, channels and groups, and also posts and messages links.
Let's see how it works, providing a particular example. Rachel is a stylist, and in her Instagram bio, she links to a page with all her Telegram links (see the first screenshot below). When a user taps the link in her IG bio, they can see all the links (see the second and third screenshots).
At the very top of the page (second screenshot) is a Telegram profile link. Rachel uses it to plan shopping with her clients, this is her main way of earning money. Below on the page (third screenshot) are links to specific posts in her Telegram channel. This is how Rachel engages people to join her channel.
Below on the page are more Telegram links.
Thus, when a user taps the link in Rachel's Instagram bio, they can choose the Telegram link that is interesting to them. If the user has been Rachel's Instagram follower for a long time, then most likely they want to buy shopping with her, and they will choose the first link. If the user is a new follower, then they only want to receive more useful information so far, and they will choose a post or channel link.
You can also add all your Telegram links to your Instagram bio link page. Then, you can simultaneously:
- Increase your Telegram audience. Add your public channel or group link so that all interested users can join them.
- Promote your product or service. Add a channel post or a group message link where you tell about your brand, product or service in detail.
- Find clients. Add your profile or bot link so that users can order your product or service and pay for them.
So where can you get such a wonder page? Let us tell you!
Link in bio pages are created in link in bio tools. We recommend the Taplink tool because it gives you more options for an average price. It is the tool we use in the instructions below.
First of all, sign up. After that, you get to the page with templates. If you want to quickly create a stylish page, choose one of them. If you want a custom page design, choose Empty template.
We promised you to create a page quickly, so we choose a ready-made template. You can tap this link to use the same template or choose a template following the instructions:
- Go to the Lite website tab.
- Tap a template.
- Tap Choose.
Now you have a page for your Instagram bio where you can add Telegram links.

You can add, change, or delete elements on your Instagram link in bio page.
There are 18 elements that you can add to your page. They help to tell users about you and persuade them to follow your Telegram links, text you or a bot, join a channel or a group.
All elements are added to the page in the same way. You select the one you need and fill in the fields.

A new element has appeared on your page. You can add other elements in the same way.
We have also added more elements to our page. We have added Texts to tell about the paid subscription to the Telegram channel. We have also added a Telegram bot link so that users can buy the subscription. This is how they look on the page:
The page elements that were initially in the template can be edited. All the elements are edited in the same way. We show how to do this using the first text as an example. We add the stylist's name there:
- Tap the element.
- Change the fields.
- Tap Save changes.
Done, change other elements in the same way. We have changed texts, photos, and specified our links on the page. This is how the page looks now:
Don't rush to delete elements on your page. You may want to hide the elements so that you don't have to create them again later.
If you still want to delete an element:
- Tap the element.
- Tap Action.
- Select Delete.
- Tap Delete.
The element has been deleted.
Make sure your page looks the way it should. Now you know how to add, edit and delete elements. So you can make exactly the page you want.
We also edited our page a little more. Now all page elements harmonize with each other. Therefore, the page looks stylish. Accents are added with images and text formatting. The visitors will definitely pay attention to the shopping button, articles in the channel, and the benefits of subscribing to a paid channel.
This stylish page with accents has great importance to Rachel as a stylist. Once users open it, they already see that Rachel has a sense of style and the ability to create beauty.
