How to edit Instagram bio?

  1. Open your profile, and click the “Edit Profile” button
  2. Click on your bio to edit
  3. Update your bio by adding any profile usernames (using “@”) or hashtags (using “#”)
  4. Click “Done”

It’s as easy as that! Now your username mentions and hashtags will be clickable links within your Instagram bio.

Generally speaking, it’s a great thing to have your username linked on someone else’s bio, because it adds more visibility to your account and allows their followers to discover you. This is simply a security measure to keep accounts from abusing the new feature.

How to Add a Link to Your Instagram Bio

  1. Open your Instagram mobile app.
  2. Visit your profile by tapping the person icon on the bottom right.
  3. Tap “Edit Profile” at the top of the screen.
  4. Write a custom description in 150 characters or less.
  5. Add a brief link to your website in the form of yourdomain.com.
  6. Add links to other profiles by tapping “@” followed by the profile’s handle.
  7. Add hashtags by tapping “#” followed by the hashtag you associate with.
  8. Tap “Done” to save your bio.

How to Create a Location on Instagram

Instagram used to allow you to create a custom location, but it has since changed. Custom locations can no longer be created directly on Instagram, rather they must be created through Facebook.

It is unlikely that you will need to create a location on Instagram, as most of the data on the app is taken from Google and Facebook. Most users will not run into this issue if they already have a Facebook business page or a Google My Business page. However, if you need to create a location on Instagram, you must first log onto Facebook to create a location on Facebook and that location will show up on your Instagram account.

How to Search Instagram by Location

One of the benefits of adding or tagging a location on Instagram is that users can search Instagram by location. This is commonly done when a user is looking for a restaurant or event to attend or when they stumble upon a picture taken at a location and want to see more.  When using Instagram for your business, always add the location of your business so that your pictures will come up in a location search.

To search a location on Instagram from the search icon:

  1. Tap the Search icon.
  2. Tap Search.
  3. Tap Places.
  4. Enter location name (this is usually the name of the business).

To search a location on Instagram from a photo:

  1. Tap the Location.
  2. All of the photos tagged at the location will come up.
  3. Search through the pictures.

In addition to using the Instagram app to search locations, you can always search locations on websites or apps like Gramfeed that allow you to search locations based on a map or address.

How to Tag a Location on Instagram

A location tag, also known as a GeoTag, on Instagram puts a place on a literal map. Location tags tell your followers where you are or where the picture was taken.

If you have a brick and mortar location like a store, office, restaurant, salon, or studio, tagging is a great way to literally put your business on the map on Instagram. A location tag provides your physical address and location on a map so that customers can find your business. Always use tags when posting from your Instagram account, even for an Instagram contest—you never know where your next customer will be!

To tag a location on Instagram:

  1. Tap “Add Location”
  2. Search for your location.
  3. Select it and post the photo.

How do I check my Instagram activity results?

Checking your results on Instagram is important to optimizing your performance. Up until recently, Instagram didn’t give any statistics about your posts and account except for the number of likes, replies, and mentions of your profile.

However, this has changed with the introduction of the Instagram Business Account (very similar to Facebook Business) which gives you access to Instagram Insights. It, however, has some limitations. For example, you get the data for the last seven days only. Not long, right? It’s impossible to conduct a thorough analysis on such a short timeframe. Also, when your Stories disappear, you lost their data. To understand your performance on Instagram, you need something extra, some external tool. Like Sotrender.

How to delete comments on Instagram?

Sometimes you post a comment and then realize that something’s wrong with it. Misspelling a word, tagging the wrong person, or even posting it on the wrong post. And sometimes you want to delete a rude comment that someone left under your photo. Thankfully, Instagram lets you delete comments, even if it’s not so obvious how to do it ar first.

But it’s really easy – you just need to complete the following steps:

  • First – Tap the ‘Comment’ button under the photo to see all comments.
  • Touch the comment that you want to delete and swipe left until the trashcan icon appears on the screen.
  • Tap on the trashcan icon and then click ‘Delete’.
  • Re-write your comment so that it’s how you intended.

How can I delete my Instagram photos?

Sometimes you post a picture on Instagram and after several minutes (days, or even years!) you change your mind and want to delete it. Thankfully, Instagram makes this easy to do.

  1. Go to Instagram on your smartphone.
  2. Click your profile button at the bottom of the screen.
  3. Review your photos and tap the one you want to delete.
  4. Tap the options icon (three dots in the right-hand corner of the screen).
  5. Tap ‘Delete’.
  6. Confirm the deletion.

You can do this with as many pictures as you want but it’s still not possible to delete more than one post at the same time.

How do I delete videos on Instagram?

Sometimes you change your opinion about one of your Instagram videos and decide to delete it. It’s possible to delete videos on Instagram, and it’s the same as deleting a photo.

Within the Instagram app on your phone or tablet, you are allowed to delete only one video at a time. Follow these steps to delete any of your unwanted Instagram videos:

  • Open Instagram on your phone/tablet.
  • Log in to your Instagram account.
  • Tap your profile icon in the lower-left corner.
  • Search for the video you wish to remove (Try the grid format to better see your videos).
  • Open the video you want to delete and tap it.
  • Tap ‘Options’ (…) in the upper-right corner.
  • Tap ‘Delete’ and then confirm your decision.

For now, Instagram, unfortunately, doesn’t give a possibility to delete several videos on Instagram at one time.

How To Find Someone’s Instagram By Username

If you know someone’s Instagram handle, you can search for them by clicking on the magnifying glass at the bottom of the app.

You can actually search for specific accounts, hashtags, and places in this same spot.

As you spend time on Instagram, the app will get to know you. The search tab will be populated with suggested categories and posts that Instagram thinks you might enjoy. This is a great place to find new people or hashtags to follow!
