How to Add Social Links to Your Spotify Artist Profile (2026)

October 5, 2026 · 6 min read

Add social links to your Spotify artist profile in Spotify for Artists: View Profile, About, More info. Which links work, the 1,500 character bio, and fixes.

Quick answer: You add social links to your Spotify artist profile in Spotify for Artists, not in the regular Spotify app. Log in at artists.spotify.com, click View Profile, click About, then click the edit icon next to More info and paste your links. As of October 2026 Spotify accepts Instagram, Facebook, X, TikTok, Wikipedia and WhatsApp channel links, and they appear in the About section of your profile in the Spotify app. There is no website field. Your bio sits in the same About section and holds up to 1,500 characters, but it only links to Spotify content, not to outside sites.

Before you start: get access to Spotify for Artists

Only a claimed artist profile can be edited. If you release through a distributor that Spotify lists as a preferred provider, you usually get access as soon as you submit a request. Otherwise you claim your profile at artists.spotify.com and add a link to your website or social channels so Spotify can verify you. Spotify reviews these requests by hand, so approval can take a few days. If someone on your team already claimed the profile, ask the Admin to invite you. Profile editing is open to Admins and Editors.

How to add social links to your Spotify artist profile

1. Log in at artists.spotify.com on a computer.
2. Click View Profile.
3. Click About.
4. Click the edit icon next to More info.
5. Paste the full URL for each account you want to show: Instagram, Facebook, X, TikTok, Wikipedia, or a WhatsApp channel.
6. Save, then check the About section of your profile in the Spotify app.

For WhatsApp, Spotify only accepts channel links, so the URL must contain whatsapp.com/channel/. A personal WhatsApp number will not work.

Can I add social links from my phone?

Not in the Spotify for Artists app. Spotify's help center says you cannot add social media links to the More info section in the mobile app. Use a mobile browser instead: go to artists.spotify.com, tap the menu icon, then follow the same steps (View Profile, About, edit next to More info).

How to edit your Spotify artist bio (1,500 characters)

Your bio is the longest text on your profile, and Spotify gives you up to 1,500 characters for it.

On the web:

1. Log in at artists.spotify.com and click View Profile.
2. Click About.
3. Click the edit icon next to Bio.
4. Write or paste your bio, then save.

In the Spotify for Artists app: tap Profile, scroll down to About, and tap ADD or EDIT.

Inside the bio you can use @tags to link to artists, albums, playlists and tracks on Spotify, and you can paste Spotify links into the text. Those links stay inside Spotify. Spotify's help does not mention outside URLs in the bio, and artists in Spotify's community forums report that a website address typed into a bio shows as plain text that listeners cannot tap. Spotify also removes anything that breaks its Platform Rules, so keep the bio about your music.

What listeners can actually click

This is where most guides get vague. Here is what a fan can tap on your profile as of October 2026.

Other ways to send fans somewhere from Spotify

• Artist Pick. At the top of your profile, click the plus sign under Artist Pick and search for, or paste a link to, a release, playlist, concert, merch item or podcast. A Pick stays up for 180 days unless you change it, and you can add a short message and a custom image.
• Concerts. Spotify imports shows automatically from ticketing partners such as Ticketmaster, Bandsintown, DICE, Eventbrite, AXS, SeatGeek and Resident Advisor. New shows usually appear within 24 hours.
• Merch. In Spotify for Artists, click Merch & Events, then Connect store, and link your Shopify store. You can link one Shopify store per artist.

Why are my Spotify links not showing?

• Edited in the app. Social links cannot be added in the Spotify for Artists mobile app. Use a browser.
• Unsupported site. Only the listed networks are accepted. A YouTube, SoundCloud or personal website link has no slot in More info.
• Wrong WhatsApp URL. It must be a channel link containing whatsapp.com/channel/.
• Not refreshed yet. Close and reopen the Spotify app, or check your profile on another device.
• No edit access. You need an Admin or Editor role on a claimed profile.
• Link in the bio. An outside URL in your bio will not become a link. Move it to an allowed social profile instead.

When Spotify's links are not enough

Spotify gives you a handful of social slots and no website field, which leaves out your Bandcamp, merch store outside Shopify, tour page, newsletter and other streaming services. The practical fix is to send people one step further. Put a link-in-bio page in the bios of the Instagram and TikTok accounts you link from Spotify, so a fan who taps through from your profile finds everything on one page.

lit.bio is one option. The free plan gives you a page at lit.bio/yourname with up to 10 links, 50+ social icons, all 12 themes, a free QR code and 7-day click analytics, with no ads. Paste a Spotify or Apple Music link and lit.bio builds a "listen anywhere" block for that release, and you can add background music by uploading your own track. Free pages show a small "Create your own free page" link at the bottom. Pro is $9 a month or $49 once if you want unlimited links and branding removed.

Finish your profile in ten minutes

Add your social links on the web, tighten your bio to the 1,500 characters that matter, set an Artist Pick for your latest release, and point your Instagram and TikTok bios at one page that holds the rest.
