You can find your Instagram URL by opening Instagram in a web browser or mobile device.
Every Instagram account has a unique URL associated with it, and it contains your username.
Your URL is comprised of Instagram’s website address and your username, separated by slashes.
Instagram is perhaps one of the most mobile-friendly social networking platforms.
Because Instagram is so attuned to mobile devices, it doesn’t operate like a traditional website, making it sometimes difficult to track down the URL for your Instagram account.
Fortunately, the process isn’t as difficult as you might think.
How to find your Instagram URL on your computer
Finding your Instagram URL is quite straightforward if you are using a traditional web browser to view Instagram.
1. Go to instagram.com.
2. Click on your profile photo at the top-right of the screen. If you’re on someone else’s Instagram page, click the profile icon in the menu on the left side.
With the new Instagram update, there are now two ways to get to your profile.

How to find your Instagram URL on your mobile device
If you aren’t able to open Instagram on a web browser and can only access it via the app, you can still find your URL by piecing it together manually.
1. Open the Instagram app on your iPhone or Android and login.
2. Tap your profile photo in the lower-right corner of the bottom menu bar.
If you need a refresher on your Instagram username or handle, this step is key.
