How can you obtain the Instagram URL to your profile on your iPhone? It is entirely possible to copy and share your Instagram profile link in text form. We’ll discuss how you can get this URL even on an iPhone.
Instagram is the top social media platform for sharing photos and videos. As you know, Instagram is currently owned by Meta. Since being purchased by meta, many new features such as Instagram stories and IGTV have been introduced.
In recent years the number of users on Instagram has gone up exponentially. This leads to a lot of users having similar usernames and official names.
In the past, it was easy enough to simply tell someone your Instagram username and let them search for you on the platform. But now, searching by username has become quite confusing. You’re much better off sharing the actual URL to your Instagram profile if you want to invite someone to follow you.
On a pc or mac, this is easy enough, as you can simply select the URL of the browser’s address bar, copy it to your clipboard and share it however you wish.
But on mobile, this becomes a bit trickier. You see, Instagram does not provide an option for you to copy the address to your Instagram profile directly.
Instead, Instagram has provided an alternative method for sharing your profile link with others.
How To Get A Link To Your Instagram Profile On iPhone?
If you need to get your Instagram profile URL so you can share it with a friend, there are various ways to do that. Instagram does provide a convenient way of sharing your Instagram profile with others. But you may also choose to get the URL to your profile in simple text form.

Recently Instagram introduced a feature called “QR code as a name tag.” It is a convenient solution to this problem of sharing your profile link. With this feature now, you can share a link to your profile in the form of a QR code. The QR code is generated as a media file, i.e. an image, which can then be shared on any social media platform or messenger app.
To share the QR code to your profile, simply go to your Instagram page. Click the 3 horizontal bar icon in the top right to open the settings menu. Within the menu, find and select the QR code option.
The iPhone Instagram app will generate an image with a QR code that redirects straight to your Instagram page.
