How to copy Instagram link from iPhone to your profile
The Instagram mobile app is much more convenient than the official website in terms of functionality. However, it also has some limitations in terms of capabilities. Today we will figure out how to copy the link on Instagram from iPhone to your profile and is it possible. The official social network applications on iPhone and Android are practically the same, so this instruction can be considered universal.
Copy link to your profile
Since most users are on Instagram using a mobile application, let's start the instructions with this. Unfortunately, neither on iOS nor on Android is it still possible to copy the link to your profile. If you go to your page and open an additional menu, you will not find the necessary items in it. Therefore, a mobile application is not suitable for copying a link to a personal account to the clipboard!
But you can still get a link to your page from an iPhone. This will require any browser, for example, the standard Safari. Open it and follow the instructions:
- Go to the Instagram website. The mobile version will open automatically.
- Log in with your login and password.
- Go to the fourth tab, where your profile with photos is located.
- Tap on the address bar. A full link will appear here with the specified name of your page on Instagram.
- Select the line and copy it to the clipboard using the standard iPhone functionality.
The presented method is the only way to get the full link to your personal Instagram profile. But using the standard features of the application, you can copy any other links - to user profiles, publications, and so on.
There is a more complex option that uses a mobile application. You need to open your page and click "Edit Profile", then select the "Username" line. Highlight your nickname and copy.

Now you need to independently create a complete link to the site. It consists of the name of the resource and the name of your account. The final URL should look like: https://www.instagram.com/username. Agree, the option is not very convenient, but you do not have to use a browser.
Copying other links
Consider copying a link to any user's account through a mobile application:
- Open the account page.
- Click on the button with three dots in the upper right corner.
- Select "Copy profile URL" from the menu.
Ready! The URL will immediately go to the clipboard, from where you can use the information at your discretion - send it to SMS, forward it to another social network, and so on.
Similarly, you can get URLs for individual posts. Previously, this functionality was available only for own posts. Now the Instagram application has been updated, and users have the opportunity to copy links to other people's publications. In both cases, the procedure is the same:
- Open post view.
- Click on the additional menu button with three dots.
- Select the "Copy Link" action.
In the same way, you can copy links to other people's pages and any posts using the mobile version of the site.

Ask a Question If you copied the post address from a closed account, then the person you sent the URL to will only see an access error. First, he also needs to subscribe to the profile.

The functionality of the Instagram application is constantly updated and replenished. We won't be surprised if in the near future the developers add the function of copying the address of their profile, as they did with copying links to other people's posts. In the meantime, you can get the URL using the mobile version or create it yourself by adding your nickname to the site address.
