How to Add Your Link in Bio to TikTok (2026 Guide)
To add a link to your TikTok bio, open the app, tap Profile → Edit profile, tap Add next to Links and enter your URL. The option only appears once you have at least 1,000 followers or a Verified Business Account, and links that open other social media apps aren't allowed (TikTok Help, checked 26 September 2026).
Below: who can add a link, the exact steps, what to do when the option is missing, and how to make that one link lead to everything with a free tool like MinglyLink.

What Is a TikTok Bio Link?
A TikTok bio link is a clickable URL that appears on your profile page, directly below your bio text. When someone taps it, they're taken to whatever destination you've set — your website, your shop, your booking page, or a link-in-bio landing page.
Most creators point that link at a link-in-bio page such as MinglyLink, which collects all their important links behind one short URL like ming.ly/yourname. New to the idea? Start with what “link in bio” means.
Who Can Add a Link to Their TikTok Bio
According to TikTok’s help centre (checked 26 September 2026), you can add a website link to your profile if you have at least 1,000 followers or a Verified Business Account[1].
- General accounts (TikTok’s name for personal accounts, which creators use too; there is no separate creator account type) unlock the link at 1,000 followers[2].
- Verified Business Accounts can add a link regardless of follower count, but getting one means passing TikTok’s business verification, which can take up to five business days[2].
Two more rules: TikTok no longer supports links that open or log you into other social media apps, and links open in TikTok’s in-app browser[1]. Below the threshold, you can still type a web address into your bio text, but it won't be clickable.
| Account type | When the link unlocks | What it takes |
|---|---|---|
| General account (personal or creator) | At 1,000 followers1, 2 | Nothing extra |
| Verified Business Account | Any number of followers1 | Business verification with documents; can take up to 5 business days2 |
Step 1: Get Eligible (If You Have Fewer Than 1,000 Followers)
With 1,000 followers or more, skip to Step 2. Below that, the only route is a Verified Business Account[2]:
- Open the TikTok app and tap Profile.
- Tap the menu (☰), then Settings and privacy.
- Tap Account.
- Tap Business verification and follow the steps to switch your account type.
Good to know: business verification asks for documents about your business and can take up to five business days. If you are a creator rather than a registered business, growing to 1,000 followers is often the simpler route.
Step 2: Add Your Link
Once you are eligible, TikTok’s steps are[1]:
- In the TikTok app, tap Profile at the bottom.
- Tap Edit profile.
- Next to Links, tap Add.
- Follow the steps to add your website URL.
- Go back to your profile and tap the link once to check it opens the right page.
Pro tip: use a short, memorable URL like ming.ly/yourname instead of a long website address. It's cleaner, easier to say in a video, and MinglyLink gives it to you for free.
Step 3: Make Your Link Count
Your profile shows one website link, so you want it to lead to everything. Here's where a link-in-bio tool comes in.
With MinglyLink, you can create a free, fully customisable bio page that houses all your important links in one place:
- Your website or online store
- Your booking page (MinglyLink has a built-in booking system)
- Your other social media profiles
- Your latest content, products, or promotions
- A contact form for leads and enquiries
Your MinglyLink page lives at a clean ming.ly/yourname URL — just paste that into your TikTok bio and you're set.

What to Do If the Link Option Doesn't Appear
If you meet the requirements but still can't see the website field:
- Check the rule first: at least 1,000 followers, or a Verified Business Account[1].
- Just passed 1,000 followers or submitted business verification? Give TikTok time; verification alone can take up to five business days[2].
- Update the TikTok app to the latest version, then log out and back in.
- If the link is rejected, check that it doesn't open another social media app; TikTok no longer supports those[1].
If none of this works, contact TikTok support from inside the app.
Tips for Optimising Your TikTok Bio Link
- Mention your link in your videos. A simple "Link in bio" call-to-action can dramatically increase clicks.
- Pin a comment with context about what viewers will find when they tap your link.
- Keep your bio page updated. Swap in new links when you have fresh content, products, or promotions.
- Use analytics. MinglyLink shows clicks and views for each item on your page, plus total page visits, so you can see what your TikTok audience taps.
- Match your MinglyLink page to your brand. Customise themes, colours, and layout so it feels like a natural extension of your TikTok profile.
