Way #1 — put a Telegram link in the Instagram profile settings

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:

  1. Go to your profile page.
  2. Tap Edit profile.
  3. Tap Add link.
  4. Tap Add external link.
  5. Paste the link.
  6. Tap done.

Great, now the Telegram link has appeared in your Instagram bio.

Way #2 — add Telegram links to your Instagram link in bio page

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 link in bio 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!
