How to add a WhatsApp link to your Instagram bio

Instead of "DM us", open a WhatsApp chat in one tap — with the message already typed: "Hi, can I get a price?" The customer only presses send.

Create your WhatsApp link

Steps

  1. 1

    Open the Link Generator

    austudio.tools → Link Generator → WhatsApp tab. No sign-up.

  2. 2

    Enter your number

    Type it any way you like; the tool converts it to international format and previews it.

  3. 3

    Add a preset message (optional)

    E.g. "Hi, I'm coming from Instagram, can I get more info?" Fewer keystrokes for the customer, more replies for you.

  4. 4

    Copy the link

    Tap "Copy link". It looks like https://wa.me/1555…

  5. 5

    Paste into Instagram

    Profile → Edit profile → Links → Add external link → paste. Title it "Message on WhatsApp".

Tips

  • Using WhatsApp Business? Same link works, and you can add it to your catalog too.
  • Need several links (WhatsApp + directions + website)? Use the "Bio kit" tab.
  • Turn the same link into a QR code for your storefront: scanning opens the chat directly.

Frequently asked

No. wa.me is WhatsApp's official format; it's free and permanent.

The number is part of the link (wa.me/1555…). Since the customer will message it anyway, that's fine; to hide it, use WhatsApp Business's short link.
