01. Go to your profile page.

02. Tap Edit profile.

03. Tap the Bio field.

04. Write the "@" character.

05. Start writing the username you need. You can write a name if you don't remember a username.

06. You will see a list of accounts that Instagram supposes you want to mention. Choose an account from the list or write the full username.

07. If you want to tag more Instagram accounts in your bio, repeat steps 4–6. Then, tap save.

That's it, now you have tagged an Instagram account in your bio. Now, let's look at an advanced way to link to accounts and add a business card with all your account links to your bio.

Creating an Instagram business card is as quick as a few minutes if you do it on Taplink. It is a page builder that provides templates for different purposes, and for business cards too. Instructions are below.

Once you sign up on Taplink, you get access to 300+ page templates in the library. Bonus for the blog readers — here is the template used for creating the page shown above, it's not in the library but you can use it too. Tap Choose for this.

After this, you will see your page in the Taplink editor.

Now, let's add Instagram account links to the business card for your bio.

You should know that a Taplink page consists of blocks. An Instagram account link is a Social networks block. The page template we use already includes three blocks like these. You need to edit them:

Edit the other two Instagram account links and all the rest blocks in the same way.

Your Instagram business card can contain not only links but also photos, videos, opt-in forms, contact buttons, and many more. All these can be added with blocks.

Tap Add block to add a new block. In the detailed guides, you can read about adding and setting up the blocks.

As the final touch, you can change the theme.

Now that your Instagram business card with account links is ready, publish it to get a link to it:

Perfect! You've got the link that you should add to your Instagram bio. You better add it to your bio on other social platforms too, then more users subscribe to your accounts. If you need instructions on adding links to your bio on social platforms, here they are.

This is a section with additional information. If you still have questions on how to link to another Instagram account in your bio, you can look for the answers here.

There is no limitation on how many Instagram account links you can add to your bio. However, if you tag users for this, you have to fit the bio limit which is 150 characters. We managed to add 9 tags. And if you put links on your business card, you don't have to keep any limit.

If you are trying to mention an Instagram account in your bio but can't add the tag, then probably the account you are trying to mention has restricted tagging.

Log into the Instagram account you want to mention in your bio and check its settings:

If you change the settings, now you can try to mention this account again. If you still can't put the Instagram account link to your bio, relaunching the app may help.

It is also possible that the account you are trying to tag in your bio has your first account on the list of blocked or restricted users.

If you have mentioned an account in your Instagram bio, but it doesn't appear as a clickable link, then you probably haven't added "@" before the username. Check for whether you have added it. You can also link to the account from an Instagram business card in your bio, these links are always clickable.

If you tag Instagram accounts in your bio to add the links, then no. You can't track the account link clicks.

If you add a business card with Instagram account links to your bio, then yes. In the Taplink statistics tab, you can see the number of clicks for each link added to your business card.
