What is Link in bio?

Updated May 2026

A link in bio is the single URL a creator puts in their social media profile, pointing to a page that lists or hosts everything else.

Instagram only allows one clickable URL in a profile bio. Creators started using a single 'all my links' URL there in 2016, calling it the 'link in bio'. The shape stuck and spread to TikTok, LinkedIn, YouTube, and X.

In 2026, the link in bio is evolving from a static list of links (Linktree's original shape) to an AI agent that talks back (the chat link in bio category withlove pioneered).
