Where do I add a WhatsApp link on Instagram?

In Instagram, edit your profile and add the generated URL through the Links area. Instagram's interface can change, so follow the current in-app labels on your account.

Should I put private information in the prefilled message?

No. Anyone who can access the link can read its prefilled message. Do not include passwords, payment details, order secrets or other sensitive information.

Profile visitors to real enquiries

Create a WhatsApp link for your Instagram bio

Let interested visitors start a conversation without searching for your number or saving it first. Add a clear message so you know the enquiry came from Instagram.

How to use the link responsibly

Keep the first message natural

Use a friendly prompt such as “Hi! I found you on Instagram and would like to ask about…” rather than putting words in the visitor's mouth.

Label the destination clearly

Use surrounding profile text such as “Questions? Chat with us on WhatsApp” so visitors know what will open.

Protect your privacy

The phone number is part of the public link. Use a suitable business number and never include passwords, payment data or private customer details in the message.

Add it to your profile

Copy the generated URL, open Instagram's profile editor and add it through the current Links interface. App labels can change over time, so rely on the options shown in your version of Instagram. After saving, open your public profile and test the link once.
