How to Add a Link to Your Threads Bio (and Make It Clickable)
September 4, 2026 · 5 min read
Add a link to your Threads bio in the app: tap your profile, Edit profile, then the Link field. Threads allows up to five clickable links as of 2026. Full steps inside.
Quick answer: Your Threads link lives on your profile, right under your bio. Open the Threads app, tap your profile icon, tap Edit profile, then tap the Link field and paste your URL. As of 2026 Threads lets you add up to five links to your profile (it launched with only one, so older guides still say one), and the link is fully clickable for anyone who visits your page. Links inside Threads posts are clickable too.
How to add a link to your Threads bio in the app
- Open the Threads app and tap your profile icon in the bottom right corner.
- Tap Edit profile.
- Tap the Link field (on some versions it is labeled Links). If you do not see it, update the app or search Settings for "link".
- Paste your URL. Include the full address, starting with https://, so Threads reads it as a link and not as text.
- Add a short title if Threads asks for one. Use a label like "Shop" or "All my links" instead of the raw URL.
- Tap Done. Go back to your profile and tap the link once to confirm it opens.
Labels shift between app versions. The stable path is Profile, then Edit profile, then the link field. If you set up Threads by importing your Instagram details, a link may already be there. Replace it the same way.
Adding a Threads link on desktop
Go to the Threads website in your browser, log in, and open your profile. Click Edit profile, click the Link field, paste your URL, and save. Desktop changes show up in the app right away, and the other way around.
Is the link in a Threads bio clickable?
Yes. Unlike a bare URL typed into your bio text, a link added through the Link field is a real tappable button, in the app and on the web. Links pasted into a post are clickable too, a nicer setup than Instagram, where captions do not link out at all.
Can I add more than one link to my Threads bio?
As of 2026, yes, up to five. Tap Edit profile, open the link field, and you should see an option to add another. That said, Threads shows your first link most prominently and the rest sit behind a tap, so put the link you care about most in the top slot. Five is also a hard ceiling, with no images, no analytics, and no way to group things. If you have more destinations than that, one link-in-bio page in the top slot does the job more cleanly (more on that below).
Can I link my Instagram from Threads?
Every Threads account is connected to an Instagram account, and your Threads profile already shows an Instagram icon that takes people to your Instagram page, so you usually do not need to spend a link slot on it. If you want a visible button anyway, add your Instagram profile URL (instagram.com/yourusername) as one of your links.
One thing to be careful about: your Threads bio and your Instagram bio are edited separately. You can import your Instagram name, bio, and link when you create a Threads account, but after that they do not stay in sync. Changing your link on Instagram does not change it on Threads. If you use the same link-in-bio URL on both, that stops mattering, since the page itself is what you update.
Why is my Threads link not showing?
- Missing https://. A URL entered without the prefix can save as plain text. Edit the link and add it.
- Old app version. The multi-link option arrived over time. Update Threads from the App Store or Google Play and check again.
- Cached profile. Force close the app and reopen it, or check your profile from a desktop browser.
- Link removed by Meta. Threads can strip links that trip its spam or safety filters, including some shorteners. Try the full destination URL instead.
- Typed into the bio text. A URL in the bio box is not the same as the Link field. Move it to the field.
Does adding a link hurt reach on Threads?
Meta has said publicly that Threads does not penalize posts for containing links, and there is no evidence that a profile link affects how often your posts are shown. Replies and reposts move reach far more than the presence of a URL. Post normally, keep the link in your profile, and mention "link in bio" when a post calls for it.
Threads link limits vs a link-in-bio page
| What you get | Threads profile links | Link-in-bio page (lit.bio) |
|---|---|---|
| Number of links | Up to five, as of 2026 | Up to 10 on the free plan |
| Shown up front | First link only | All of them, on one page |
| Click analytics | None | Yes, free |
| Custom look and themes | None | All themes, free |
| Reuse on Instagram, TikTok, X | No, each platform edited separately | Same URL everywhere |
| QR code for print or video | No | Yes, free |
| Cost | Free | Free (Pro $9/mo or $49 once) |
Why one link-in-bio URL is the smart thing to put there
The first link on your Threads profile is the one people actually tap. If that slot points to a lit.bio page, it can hold your newsletter, your shop, your latest video, your booking form, and your other social profiles, up to 10 links on the free plan, with click analytics so you know what people care about. No ads, no fee on links to your own shop or products, and every theme is free. Pro is $9 a month or $49 once if you want extras later.
The bigger win is that the same URL works in your Instagram bio, your TikTok, your X profile, and your email signature. Change a link once on your page instead of editing five bios. Set it up in a couple of minutes, paste the URL into the Threads Link field using the steps above, and you are done. Start free and put everything behind that one tap.
