Instagram now lets you add up to five links to your profile: How to use it

Meta has added a new feature to Instagram that will enable users to add more than one links to their profiles. Until now, Instagram allowed users to add only one link to their profiles. Users who wanted to add more links to their Instagram profiles had to use third-party services such as Linktree and other ‘link-in-bio’ solutions for the purpose. But now, Instagram’s new feature will enable users to add up to five links to their Instagram profiles. Also Read: Amazon To Bring Its FIRST AR Glasses To Rival Meta? All We Know So Far

The new feature not only gives brands and content creators more flexibility in terms of providing their subscribers more than one way of connecting with them, but it also shows the company’s inability of understanding their users’ needs, which in turn has allowed companies like Linktree to thrive.
