Link to Profiles and Hashtags in Instagram Bio

Instagram has made their bios more engaging by allowing users to tag profiles and hashtags.

You are now able to place “@” before a username and it will automatically hyperlink to the respective profile. This will be easier than linking to a profile without including the “https://instagram.com link.”

When someone links to a profile, they’ll receive a notification about the activity. The user can disable the link if it is necessary.

A hashtag will automatically become a hyperlink when applied to the bio.

This new feature is welcomed and makes the 150-character section more relevant. The Facebook-owned platform will hopefully continue to be less restrictive.
