Where Is the Link in Bio on TikTok? (2026)
TL;DR:
  • The link in bio on TikTok sits directly under the creator's bio text on their profile screen ??” displayed as a small globe icon (????) followed by the domain name.
  • To get there: tap the username from any video ?†’ you're on their profile ?†’ look under their bio for the globe icon ?†’ tap it.
  • If no globe icon appears, the creator has either not set a Website or is on a personal account without the Website field. Switching to a Creator or Business account (free) enables it.

The Exact Location, Step by Step

1

Tap the username

From any video, find the creator's username at the bottom-left of the screen (above the like/comment/share buttons). Tap it. You're now on their profile.

2

Look at the top of the profile

The profile screen has profile picture, username and stats at the top, then bio text below.

3

Find the globe icon under the bio

Directly under the bio paragraph, look for a small globe icon (????) followed by the domain name (e.g. unil.ink/yourname). That's the bio link.

4

Tap the globe + URL

Tap the icon or the URL text. The link opens in TikTok's in-app browser.

Visual Anatomy of a TikTok Profile

Every TikTok profile, top to bottom:

  1. Cover banner (optional ??” only for some accounts).
  2. Profile picture ??” circular at the top.
  3. Username ??” @handle.
  4. Stats row ??” Following, Followers, Likes.
  5. Action buttons ??” Follow, Message.
  6. Bio text ??” short paragraph the creator wrote.
  7. Bio link ??” globe icon + domain name (if set).
  8. Tabs row ??” Posts, Reposts, Liked.
  9. Posts grid.

The bio link (#7) is what creators mean by "link in bio". It's between the bio text and the posts grid.

Why Some TikTok Profiles Don't Show a Bio Link

Three reasons a TikTok bio link might be missing

The creator hasn't set one, they're on a personal account that doesn't expose the Website field, or the link is in the process of being verified.

The creator hasn't added a Website

The Website field in TikTok bio is optional. Many casual users leave it blank. If you don't see the globe icon, there's nothing to find.

Personal account without Website field

Historically, TikTok gated the Website field behind a 1,000-follower threshold for personal accounts. In 2025-2026 the threshold has been relaxed in most regions, but personal accounts in some markets still don't see the Website option.

Solution for the creator: switch to a Business or Creator account (free, takes 30 seconds): Settings & privacy ?†’ Account ?†’ Switch to Business / Creator. The Website field appears immediately.

Link still verifying

A new URL added to the Website field can take up to 24 hours to render as a clickable globe icon. Wait, then check again.

Account type and country restrictions

Some TikTok regions (and certain account types) restrict bio links by default. The creator may need to verify their account before the Website field is enabled.

Where Is the Link in Bio on TikTok Live?

TikTok Live shows the broadcaster's username and profile picture in the corner. To find their bio link during a livestream:

  1. Tap their profile picture or username.
  2. You're on their profile.
  3. Find the globe icon under the bio. Tap.

This works during Live, between Lives, and after the broadcast ends.

Where Is the Link in Bio on TikTok Comments?

TikTok comments don't show clickable URLs ??” even if a creator types a URL in a comment, it renders as plain text.

To find a creator's bio link from a comment:

  1. Tap the commenter's username (the @handle next to their comment).
  2. You're on their profile.
  3. Find the globe icon under the bio.

Finding the Link in Bio Without Opening the TikTok App

Open tiktok.com/@username in any browser. The profile loads with the bio link displayed as standard clickable text. No TikTok account or app required.

Useful if you're on desktop, or if you want to bypass the in-app browser and open the URL directly in your system browser with cookies, extensions etc.
