How to link Vkontakte to Instagram and add a link

Modern social networks have already firmly entered the lives of users. People share their achievements, impressions, and photos on the Internet because it is convenient and fast. This article will discuss how to add an Instagram link to VK.

Why add a link?

Synchronizing two social networks makes the process of importing your own media content onto the internet much easier. Posting the same photos/videos on different pages every time is, to put it mildly, exhausting. That’s why the development team has added a data synchronization feature for VK and Instagram.

With this option, you can specify your own information in one account, and the data will be displayed in another. For example, if your VK wall is open for public viewing, synchronized publications from Instagram will be displayed on it, provided you write the correct synopsis.

Where can an active link be placed?

Usually, an active link must be stored directly in the internal profile of Vkontakte. Of course, you can put a link on the page wall, but it will be more effective to place it in the account settings. To perform the actions, you will need:

1. Go to the account settings.
2. Open the contact section in the profile.
3. Find fields for entering links to third-party resources.
4. Change the content of the line by specifying a link to your own page.

The inserted information will direct new visitors to the Instagram profile.

How to add a hyperlink: all methods

The distinctive feature of VK compared to Instagram is the ability to enter an active hyperlink to an unaffiliated resource. The link is specified in the profile settings, in the “Contacts” section. To make a link to Instagram through VK, the following actions are required:

1. Open a web browser and click on the username on the top panel of the page.
2. Find the section with profile editing.
3. Expand the block with contacts.
4. Tap on the “Import Settings” tab next to the Instagram label.
5. Authorize your own account.
6. Grant permission to read personal information.
7. Select the space for importing media files (wall, album, by hashtags).
8. Click on the graphic button “Save”.

If a user links their profile description through a browser, it is worth remembering that manual entry of the link is meaningless. The social network is capable of automatically detecting the web surfer’s name after the first login to the resource. However, when using a smartphone to save the link, it is necessary to copy the information to the clipboard, as the system does not recognize the username.

To accomplish the task, it is necessary to log into the Instagram account and select the source URL.

On Android

Inserting a link to Instagram from your phone is easy, just follow these instructions:

1. Turn on the mobile app “VKontakte”.
2. Log in to the social network.
3. Click on the icon with three lines on the bottom panel.
4. Open the profile for editing.
5. Click the “Edit” button.
6. Expand the contacts block.
7. Mark Instagram as a personal website.
8. Save changes and restart the application.

To create a link to Instagram in VK using an iOS phone, follow these steps:

1. Launch the mobile app.
2. Log in to the social network.
3. Open the account settings.
4. Click on the photo and edit it.
5. Find the contacts block.
6. Enter the necessary link in the corresponding field.

When the editing process is complete, an active link to Instagram will be displayed on the main page, but file import will be disabled.

On the computer

To add an active hyperlink to your own Instagram page, follow these steps:

1. Open the social network using a browser installed on your PC.
2. Log in to Instagram and go to settings.
3. Copy the source URL to the clipboard.
4. Launch your VK account and go to system settings.
5. Leave the link on the wall or move it to the “Contacts” section in the page settings.

Attention! You can use a web browser on a desktop computer to import files.
