How to Find Instagram URL with the Help of Your Username

You can also find or create your Instagram URL with the help of your username.

Every Instagram profile has a unique username that defines the profile address or URL.

For example, my Instagram username is shanebarker.

An Instagram profile link or URL consists of three parts, in the following sequence: 

• The website address, i.e., www.instagram.com
• A slash symbol (/)
• Username

Keeping this in mind, my Instagram profile link is www.instagram.com/shanebarker.

So, if you know your username, you can type your Instagram profile link manually to share it with others. 

If you’re not sure what your username is, follow the steps below to find it on your phone.
