To add a link to your Threads bio, open your profile, tap Edit profile, then Link, and add the web address with a title if you want one. You can add up to five links this way, on your phone or on a computer.
How many links you can add to a Threads bio
As of 29 October 2026, Meta says you can add up to five links to your Threads bio, a change it announced on 15 May 2025. The update on Meta's newsroom announcing five links in Threads bios reads 'Now, you can add up to five links to your bio'.
Some guides dated 2026 still say Threads allows a single link. That was the position before the May 2025 update. If a tutorial tells you to squeeze everything into one link, check its date against Meta's announcement before you follow it.
How to add a link to your Threads bio on your phone
The phone steps are the same on Android and iPhone. As of 29 October 2026, Instagram's Help Centre page Edit your profile on Threads gives the route to the link field. The Add link and title steps come from the official @threads account's announcement of the five-link change, which we read through a search index because the post needs a login, so check the labels on your own screen.
- Tap Profile or your profile picture in the bottom right.
- Tap Edit profile, below your profile information at the top.
- Tap Link.
- Tap Add link, paste the full web address, and give the link a title if you want one.
- Tap Done in the top right, then tap Done again to save your changes.
Menu labels can change between app versions, so if a button has moved, look for the same words on the Edit profile screen. If a link doesn't appear, update the app, check that you tapped Done both times and reopen your profile, or try the same steps on threads.com. Once you've saved, tap each link on your own profile to check it opens the page you meant.
How to add a link to your Threads bio from a computer
You can add links from a computer as well as from your phone. On threads.com, the Help Centre gives the route as Profile on the left, then Edit profile. The @threads announcement says the five links can be added on mobile or web by clicking Add link, adding the URL and an optional title. Save before you close the tab.
Are Threads and Instagram bio links connected?
Threads and Instagram keep separate bios and links. You can manage your Threads bio and link from Threads or from Instagram, but editing your Instagram profile doesn't change Threads unless you choose to import it. As of 29 October 2026, Instagram's Help Centre page Where to manage settings for Threads lists 'Profile bio and link' under Threads or Instagram. It adds, 'Changes on Threads will only affect Threads. Changes on Instagram will only affect Instagram unless you choose to import it to Threads.' The same page lists name and username as managed from Instagram, affecting both apps. The Edit your profile page also notes that Meta is gradually moving people to Meta Accounts, so you may see either Accounts Centre or Meta Account settings.
The Instagram side has its own rules, covered in our guide to adding links to your Instagram bio.
Which five links to put in your Threads bio
Pick the five pages you most want people to reach, and give each one a title that says what is behind it. Here is a made-up example for a hypothetical UK creator. The titles and addresses are representative.
| Slot | Title | Where it goes |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 'Newsletter' | The newsletter sign-up page |
| 2 | 'Latest video' | The newest YouTube upload |
| 3 | 'Shop' | The online shop |
| 4 | 'Book a call' | An appointment booking page |
| 5 | 'All my links' | A link in bio page such as digily.bio/yourname |
Rank them before you add them. If you could only keep three, those three are your real priorities, and the last two slots are for whatever changes each month, such as the latest video. A business would swap the rows round. A café might use 'Menu' and 'Book a table', and an electrician might use 'Get a quote'. A title like 'Book a call' tells people what will happen when they tap. A bare web address leaves them guessing.
Seeing how often your Threads links are clicked
Threads gives you a number for visits to your links, not a list of names. In the same 15 May 2025 update, Meta says you can see how many people visited the links in your bio or in your posts. It doesn't explain how that figure is counted, where it sits in the app or whether it is split per link, so don't treat it as an exact count of different people, and check your own account.
To tell your five slots apart, give each one its own short link. Digily Link is our product, and on the free plan you get 50 short links with 30 days of statistics. In the dashboard, go to Short Links, then Create link, and make one link per slot. Each short link has its own statistics, so the slots show up separately without any extra setup. If you also add utm_source=threads to the end of the short address you paste into Threads, for example digily.link/yourshop?utm_source=threads (a representative address), the statistics record it. Digily Link's statistics store utm_source, utm_medium and utm_campaign, but not utm_content. Whether those parameters also reach your own website's analytics depends on the link's settings, so open the link and check the address you land on.
A short link counts opens, not people. If one person taps your 'Shop' link three times, that's three opens. Treat the figure as how often a link was used, not as visitors or sales. Our guide explains how to shorten a link and count the clicks in more detail.
Using a link in bio page when five links are not enough
If you need more than five links, give one Threads slot to a single page that holds the rest. If you're new to the idea, here is what a link in bio page is. The Digily Link free plan includes up to 5 link in bio pages, with no ads.
- In the dashboard, open Link in Bio and create a page with the links that didn't fit on Threads.
- Add a Socials block and fill in the field labelled 'Threads' with your Threads username, without the @. The field takes up to 64 characters, and the icon links to threads.com/@yourname.
- Copy the page address and add it to one of your Threads link slots with a title such as 'All my links'. In the example above it sits fifth, but put it wherever it fits your priorities.
- Open the page from your Threads profile on your own phone to check it loads.
The Threads icon lets someone who finds your page elsewhere get back to your profile. If you also want a click count for the page itself, put a short link to it in that slot.
If you have more than five destinations, keep them together on a Digily Link page.
