Threads is Instagram’s best friend. Despite their differences, they go hand-in-hand in many aspects. Threads is a text-based social media app created specifically for having healthy conversations around any topic you want.

Since its launch in mid-July in 2023, Threads has gained more than 200 million users, and most of them have come from Instagram. Why? Because these two apps are BFFs, they are very connected to each other, and you can seamlessly link your Threads account to your Instagram.

Now, if you’ve ever been scrolling around IG and have come across someone’s profile and seen that they have put Threads in their Instagram bio and wanted to do the same thing, you’ve come to the right place. In this blog, we’re going to show how easily you can link your Threads to your Instagram bio.

Let’s get started, shall we?

How to Add Threads to your Instagram Bio?

Now, what is Threads? What is it used for? Well, you can read about the differences between Instagram and Threads here on our blog. Or if you want us to summarize it in a few sentences, we’d say that Threads is the text-based version of Instagram and is built around fostering healthy conversations whereas Instagram is a more visual-style of platform. Threads is basically Twitter/X’s most popular alternative.

The chances are many of your IG friends have already joined Threads, and they might be posting interesting stuff over there.

So, why would you even want to link Threads to your Instagram in the first place? Well, linking your Threads account to your Instagram helps you connect with your IG friends and followers and it can be a great way to keep your followers up-to-date on your latest activities and conversations. Linking these two apps can help drive traffic to Threads, increase user engagement.

It’s like having a second home on Instagram where you can chat, share, and connect with people in a more casual way. Very mindful, very demure.

Now, ever wanted to add your Threads profile to your Instagram bio? Let us break it down for you:

Oh, wait. Not this type of breakdown.

When you install your Threads app, and you have an Instagram account already, your Threads profile should be connected to your Instagram profile automatically. No breaking down whatsoever. It will show up on its own. No extra steps needed. Install Threads, and connect your Instagram.

If however, for whatever reason, it didn’t show up:

  1. Go to your Threads app, and click on your profile icon in the right bottom of the screen.
  2. Tap on “Share Profile” and from the menu, tap on “Copy URL”. Now you have your profile link copied to your clipboard.
  3. Now, open your Instagram app. Tap on your profile icon in the bottom right of your screen again.
  4. Choose “Edit Profile” in your IG profile page, and then tap on “Links” and then “Add a URL”
  5. Paste your copied Threads profile link here. You can also add a text for the URL; type in “Threads” or “Threads Profile”.
  6. Tap in the check mark, and then click save. Congrats, you have added Threads to your Instagram bio!
