One of the possibilities is the famous "link in the bio", the only space on the social network that allows the addition of URLs, in addition to Instagram Stories. In the stories, the much coveted "drag up" feature is only available for verified profiles and business accounts with more than 10,000 followers.

Since Instagram does not allow clickable links in publications and comments, users who need to highlight a specific electronic address usually put it in the profile biography, since the section contains a space reserved for adding links. The procedure is simple: when editing the profile, just paste the desired link in the "Site" field and save the changes.

Whoever wants to add more than one link in the bio can use the Link.Bio website, which generates a single page with several URLs, or Linktree tool. Widely used by influencers and companies, the platform condenses, in a single link, all the pages that need to be disclosed, in a list format. The highlight of the service is the possibility to follow statistics on clicks and views.

The famous "drag up" feature that is very popular with those who want to insert links in Instagram Stories. The ideal function to disseminate content produced outside the social network, such as texts on blogs, products for sales and longer videos. Unfortunately, the tool is only available for verified accounts or business profiles with more than 10,000 followers.
