How To Put Twitter/X Links on Instagram Bio (2 Ways)

Are you looking to share your Twitter (X) post links to your Instagram bio?

With social media becoming increasingly interconnected, adding a link to your Twitter (X) posts to your Instagram bio helps your followers to consume your Twitter (X) content easily. However, adding Twitter (X) posts that drive engagement can be challenging.

In this article, I'll show you two ways to add your Twitter (X) profile to your Instagram bio. First, I'll walk you through adding a direct Twitter (X) link to your Instagram bio. Then, I'll show you how to create a custom bio page that embeds the posts you want to share.

Why Share Twitter (X) Links On Instagram Bio?

Twitter (X) is where you share quick thoughts, news, and instant updates. Instagram focuses more on visual storytelling through images and videos. Sharing your Twitter (X) content on Instagram can benefit your social media strategy in many ways such as:

• Followers who discover you on Instagram can easily find and follow you on Twitter (X), expanding your reach organically.
• Instagram focuses on visual content, while Twitter (X) excels at quick updates and conversations. Sharing content from one platform on the other lets followers engage with you in their preferred way.
• Followers can participate in Twitter (X) discussions they discover through your Instagram profile, boosting overall engagement.
• Showing activity across multiple platforms builds credibility and highlights your active social media presence.

Now that we’ve covered why linking Twitter (X) to your Instagram bio matters, let’s explore two simple methods to add your profile.

How To Add Twitter (X) Link to Instagram Bio: 2 Easy Methods

Successfully sharing your Twitter (X) links on Instagram depends on how easily followers can find and engage with your content. Let's look at the first method that shows how to use Instagram's native feature to add Twitter (X) links.

Method 1: Add Twitter (X) Link Directly to Instagram Bio

The simplest way to share your Twitter (X) posts is by using the native external links feature available on Instagram. This method is quick to implement and ensures your Twitter (X) profile is immediately accessible to followers.

Here's how to add your Twitter (X) profile link:

1. Open Twitter (X), go to the post that you want to share and copy its URL from the address bar.
2. Open Instagram and navigate to your profile.
3. Tap Edit Profile.
4. Under Links, tap Add external link and paste your Twitter (X) post URL.
5. Add a title to tell followers what the link is about and tap the checkmark to save your changes.

Limitations of Direct Twitter (X) Links in Instagram Bio

While this method is straightforward, it comes with several limitations that might affect your cross-platform engagement:

1. Instagram limits the number of external links you can add to just five.
2. Links appear as plain text without any preview of your Twitter (X) content.
3. Links open in Instagram’s browser, forcing users to log in to Twitter (X) separately to follow you.

Method 2: Use Social to Create an Engaging Instagram Bio Page

While adding a direct link works, creating a custom bio page offers a more professional and engaging way to share your Twitter (X) content. 

Unlike Instagram’s basic links, bio link tools let you showcase multiple links (like your Twitch streams, Vimeo videos, recent blog posts, or email sign-up) in an organized, visually appealing layout. These tools also allow you to customize the layout to match your brand’s aesthetic, and track click-through rates to better understand how followers engage with your links.
While many link in bio tools exist, most offer limited features and come with high costs. For this reason, we recommend using Social, a WordPress link in bio plugin that allows you to display different links, including Twitter (X) posts directly on your bio page.

Here’s how to set it up in four simple steps:

1. Install Social on Your WordPress Site

Start by purchasing and downloading the Social plugin. Once you have the plugin’s zip file, installing it on your WordPress site takes just a few clicks.

1. Navigate to Plugins → Add New in your WordPress dashboard.
2. Click the Upload plugin button.

Select the Social plugin file and click Install Now, then click Activate to close the wizard.

2. Choose a Bio Page Template

After installing Social, it's time to choose a template that will showcase all your links including Twitter (X) post links. Social comes with professionally designed templates for various industries and purposes.
To select a template, navigate to the Social page in your WordPress dashboard and click the All Templates button. You can use the filters at the top to find templates suited for social media content.

Once you find the perfect template, hover over it and click the Use template button.

This will start the setup wizard which will guide you through the process of creating the bio page with your content.

Once your bio page is set up, you can move on to adding links. Simply click the Continue to the editor button within the setup wizard.

3. Add Twitter (X) Post Links to the Social Bio Page

Now that your bio page is set up, let's add your links including Twitter (X) posts to make it engaging for your followers.

1. In the Social editor, click the Explore button to open the buttons menu.

2. Under Share your content, find and click the Twitter (X) button.

3. Add a title, paste your Twitter (X) post link, and choose whether you want to embed the tweet or open it in the app when clicked.

You can also add other links like YouTube videos, Pinterest posts, TikTok videos, or Spotify tracks to create a complete social bio page.

After adding all the buttons, go to the Settings tab of the bio page. You’ll find options to change the layout, apply a different color scheme, add a background, and customize the button style.

Social also lets you add your Twitter (X) profile and other social account profiles to the footer. In the Icons section, click the Add icon button, select your preferred social platform from the list, and paste your profile URL.

4. Share Your Bio Page

Once you've set up your Instagram bio page, click the Share button to copy your bio page URL.

Go to your Instagram profile and add the Social bio page link as your bio page link. This is how it looks when opened in a browser.

That’s it! That’s how easy it is to share your Twitter (X) content directly on your Instagram bio page.

Easily Share Twitter (X) Links in Your Instagram Bio

Sharing your Twitter (X) content on Instagram is all about making your Tweets easily discoverable and engaging for your audience.

Instagram offers a native way to add links to your bio, but it’s basic and lacks an engaging experience for followers. A bio page, on the other hand, lets you take a professional approach by embedding tweets, organizing multiple links, and tracking engagement.

Social plugin stands out as the best tool to create your bio page. It displays previews of your Twitter (X) posts directly on your bio page, driving more clicks than plain bio links.
