If you want your Instagram followers to communicate with you through WhatsApp, you can paste the WhatsApp profile link on your Instagram bio instead of sharing your contact number with each individual. You can also add the WhatsApp group link or channel link to your Instagram profile. However, the actual WhatsApp links are a bit long, and adding a shortened URL will give it an optimized look. Shortening WhatsApp links is easy, and you can use the urlsrt.io tool to do that.

Tips to Make Instagram Users Follow the Bio Link
After adding the link, check whether it is accessible to everyone. Adding the link does not matter, but it should have more visitors. Below are some of the basic parameters to increase link traffic.
- Use short URL: Always ensure that you add a short and good-looking URL. Some group link URLs may look long, and when added to Instagram, some parts of the link will be hidden. To avoid these, you can shorten your link using the urlsrt.io tool, which also allows you to customize the link protocol.
- Add emojis to the Link Title: Instead of simply adding the plain link, you can include some emojis related to it. Instagram allows you to add some accessible emojis to the link’s title.
- Add CTA (Call-to-action): This exclusive feature increases the click rate of the link. To use it, briefly and sweetly explain the link’s purpose. This may help users open the correct link if there are many other links around it.
