Which types of links are risky to add to Instagram?

Under what circumstances can Instagram block a link in your bio?

📲 Recently, many Instagram users have encountered an issue where the link in their bio gets blocked. This can lead to restrictions on other features like likes, comments, and following other accounts. The problem is often related to the content of the site the link leads to — including potentially inappropriate material such as extremist content, adult content, or other prohibited categories.

❗️However, even regular websites or online stores may occasionally get blocked.

✅ To avoid link blocking, it’s recommended to carefully review the content you’re linking to. You are allowed to include links to your personal websites, blogs, giveaways, contests, and sales pages.

❗️Avoid linking to profiles on other social platforms, pages with inappropriate content for teens, or URLs that use multiple redirects.

❌ If your link is blocked, it’s best to remove it from your profile. If the same link is used by multiple accounts simultaneously, consider using link shorteners or changing the URL itself.

🛜 Another option may be using subdomains or changing your IP address via VPN.

❗️Use these workarounds carefully to avoid additional penalties or account restrictions from Instagram for suspicious behavior.

Instagram is available in Russia but with limitations. To reduce the risk of your link being blocked, it’s important to prepare your content thoughtfully.
