Did Instagram Just Sign the End of Linktree Links? This solution, which allows Internet users to be redirected to a collection of links, may no longer be necessary on the social network. The platform indicated this Tuesday that users can now add up to five links to their profile, reports the specialized media TechCrunch.
A novelty that facilitates the work of influencers and companies by allowing them to directly display the brands they want to promote or their profile on other social networks.
Instagram clarifies that this new feature is the result of requests from creators. It’s also an illustration of how slow Instagram has been to adapt to the needs of its community.
To take advantage of the feature, users will need to tap “Edit Profile,” then “Links,” then “Add Link.” They can then drag and drop the links in the order they want them to appear. The function is already active.

Alternatives like Linktree arose in large part due to platform limitations that had long prevented users from adding multiple links to other sites. The main reason was the fear that users would click on content that would take them out of the app.
Instagram wasn’t the only one to limit external links, TikTok does too. The Chinese social network does this even for users with a professional account. Therefore, this new feature seems to be a competitive advantage for Instagram.
