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 linkSteps
- 1
Open the Link Generator
austudio.tools → Link Generator → WhatsApp tab. No sign-up.
- 2
Enter your number
Type it any way you like; the tool converts it to international format and previews it.
- 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
Copy the link
Tap "Copy link". It looks like https://wa.me/1555…
- 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.
