Many creators on TikTok choose to link their Instagram accounts to their profiles on the app, as a way of making sure viewers know where to find them across multiple platforms. Here’s how to do it.

Within the past few years, TikTok has taken over as the most popular social media platform out there, becoming a hub for viral content and a place for a range of communities to share their interests with others.

Many are also trying to grow their following on the app, perhaps inspired by popular stars like Charli D’Amelio and Addison Rae who have tens of millions of followers on the app.

However, many creators still remain active on photo-sharing platform Instagram and are still trying to grow their following across social media, and for that reason, some like to connect their Instagram account to their TikTok profile to let viewers know where to find them.
