Quick answer: Here is how to add a link to your TikTok bio: in the app, tap Profile, tap Edit profile, tap Add next to Links, and follow the steps to link your website. TikTok's Help Center says the website link is available to accounts with at least 1,000 followers or a Verified Business Account. If Edit profile shows neither a Links row nor a Website field, your account is not eligible yet. Once the link is live, test it from another device and point it at a page that holds everything you want people to find.
Who can add a link to a TikTok bio
This is where most of the confusion comes from, so start here before you go looking for a button that may not exist on your account.
TikTok's own Help Center article on adding a website link to your profile gives two routes to eligibility:
- 1,000 followers or more. Once you pass that number, the Links option can appear in Edit profile.
- A Verified Business Account. This is not the same as tapping a switch to a business account. Verification is a separate process where you submit business details, and TikTok's business help pages say it is open to accounts of all sizes but only in certain markets.
A lot of older advice says that simply switching to a business account unlocks the link with no follower minimum. TikTok's current wording does not say that. It names a Verified Business Account, so if you are under 1,000 followers and have only switched account type, do not be surprised if the field is still missing.
How to add a link to your TikTok bio, step by step
If your account qualifies, the whole thing takes under a minute. These are the steps TikTok documents:
- In the TikTok app, tap Profile at the bottom of the screen.
- Tap Edit profile.
- Next to Links, tap Add.
- Follow the on-screen steps to link your website. Paste the full address, including https://.
- Save, then go back to your profile and confirm the link shows under your bio.
Some app versions still label the field Website instead of Links. In that layout you open Edit profile, scroll to Website, paste the address, and save. Same field, older label. If the wording on your screen does not match any written guide, including this one, trust the app. Menus get renamed quietly between versions and regions.
One limit: TikTok says it no longer supports profile links that open or log you into other social media apps. Linking to those platforms' websites still works.
Where the link shows up and what happens when someone taps it
The link sits on your profile just below your bio text. When a viewer taps it, TikTok opens the page in its in-app browser rather than handing them off to Safari or Chrome.
TikTok also says it limits how far people can follow chains of external links inside that in-app browser, for every account, as a protection against scams and phishing. A visitor may see a prompt to open the page in their phone's own browser. TikTok recommends direct links so people reach the site they want in a few steps. In practice that means short paths: no stacked redirects, no link that bounces through three services before it lands.
You get one link field. Not three. That single slot is why so many creators point it at a link-in-bio page, so one address can hold the shop, the newsletter, the latest long video, and every other profile.
Where to look, depending on what you see
| What you see in Edit profile | What it means | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| A Links row with an Add button | Your account is eligible | Tap Add and follow the steps |
| A Website field | Eligible, older app layout | Paste the address and save |
| Neither | Under 1,000 followers and not a Verified Business Account, or an outdated app | Update the app, then check your follower count and account status |
| Link saved but not opening for viewers | Usually a destination problem | Test from a logged-out device and check the page still loads |
Test the link before you send anyone to it
A link that loads for you on home Wi-Fi can behave differently for a stranger on mobile data. A broken bio link quietly costs you visitors you never see leave, so treat testing as a step, not an afterthought.
- Open your profile on a second device or a phone that is not logged into your account.
- Tap the link from the profile, exactly the way a viewer would.
- Check that the page loads quickly and matches what your bio promises.
- Repeat with Wi-Fi off.
Keep the destination clean for another reason too. TikTok gives viewers a way to report a link from someone's profile: tap the link, tap the More options button at the top, then Report. A page that looks spammy or broken invites exactly that.
Keeping the link from getting flagged
Most flagged bio links come down to the destination, not the act of pasting a URL. Broken pages, long redirect chains, brand new domains, and a page that does not match the bio are the usual suspects. We cover the full checklist in how to stop your link in bio getting flagged, and if TikTok has already blocked or hidden your link, start with what to do when TikTok or Facebook blocks your link in bio.
The short version: keep one stable address, change what is behind it instead of the address itself, and pick a page whose domain has a record platforms can judge.
Website link or link-in-bio page?
Point the link straight at your own site when that site is the one destination that matters and you will not change it often. Point it at a link-in-bio page when you want the shop, the newsletter, the latest video, and your other profiles in one place.
The page approach also saves you from editing your TikTok profile after every post. The address stays put while you reorder what sits behind it, which is easier to keep current. A quick pass whenever your focus changes is enough; our guide on how often to update your link in bio covers the rhythm.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you need 1,000 followers to add a link to your TikTok bio?
Not if you have a Verified Business Account. TikTok's Help Center says the website link is available to accounts with at least 1,000 followers or a Verified Business Account. Simply switching account type is not the same as verification.
Why can't I add a link to my TikTok bio?
Usually because the account does not meet either requirement yet. Update the app first, since older versions can hide newer fields. If Edit profile still shows no Links row or Website field, check your follower count and whether your business account is verified.
How do I make my TikTok bio link clickable?
Add it through Edit profile, using Links or Website, not by typing it into the bio text. The link added in that field is the one TikTok shows as tappable on your profile and opens in its in-app browser.
Can I link to Instagram or YouTube from my TikTok profile?
You can link to those platforms' websites. TikTok says it no longer supports profile links that open or log you into other social media apps directly, so a deep link into another app will not work from this field.
Can you put more than one link in a TikTok bio?
The profile has one link field. To send people to several places, point that field at a link-in-bio page and list your destinations there, then update the page instead of your TikTok profile when priorities change.
