Instagram users will now be able to share and promote more of their work with their followers by posting up to five links on their profiles. The company took to Twitter to make the announcement about the upcoming change on its platform. The news about the upcoming update was also shared by Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg on its Broadcast channel. The users were only permitted to add one link to their bio. That one link to a page held several links. But now Instagram users will be able to add such as Linktree, Beacons, and Discord accounts, among others links to the platform.
