There are many reasons why you’d want to share an Instagram profile. It could be an account that posts some helpful or funny content that you want your followers to know about. Or it could simply be yours, and you want to get more followers and engagement on your page.
Whatever the reason may be, it’s easier to send a link to the profile, rather than having to type out the username for others. This is mainly because of how strange and complicated Instagram usernames can be with all the symbols and strange spellings.
Fortunately, Instagram has a few quick ways of doing this, which we’re going to walk you through in this article.
How to Share an Instagram Profile Through Instagram DMs
The next time you stumble upon a profile that posts solid gold, remember to follow these steps to share with your followers.
- Go to the profile you’d like to share. A Quick search will get you there if you can’t find a post on your feed.
- On the profile, tap on the three-door icon at the top right.
- This will bring up a menu. Swipe down to “Share this profile” and tap on it.
- Next, you search for the group or user you want to send the profile to, select it, and tap “Send.”
With these steps followed, a preview of the profile will appear on the chats between you and the person you selected. However, previews for private accounts will not be available if the recipient is not following the account.
