Open the Instagram app.

Tap “Website.”

Type in a website. If you want to link to multiple sites, you can use a third-party service (like Linktree) to bundle several links into just one.

Tap “Done.” Done is in the upper-right corner. You’ll be taken back to the profile screen. You should see the website you entered under your name.
