Many users went to Twitter to complain that they are unable to add a link to their Instagram bio.
“Instagrams “Link In Bio” Is down and not working for some individuals/businesses #Instagram“.
“Is anyone having issues adding an external link to their @instagram account? It literally won’t let me add my website to my bio on my business page and it’s pissing me off”.
“Somehow my #linktree link on @instagram disappeared. I don’t have the usual “website” feature on my phone anymore. It says “add external link” but I can’t put my linktree because it just fails. Does anyone else have that problem? #instagram”.
