How to Add an Email Contact Button in Instagram Bio

You must have noticed many Instagram accounts have an Email or Contact button on their Instagram profile. If you want to add a similar button to your bio so that your email is visible publicly, you must switch to an Instagram Professional account first and then add an email button.

We have divided the steps into two sections:

1. Convert your Instagram Account to a Professional Account

1. In the Instagram app on your Android or iPhone, go to your profile screen by tapping on the profile picture icon at the bottom.

2. Add Contact Button to Instagram Profile

After converting your profile to a professional profile, follow these steps to add an email button to your Instagram profile:

1. Go to your Instagram profile.

2. Tap on the Edit profile button.

3. Go to Contact options and add the email address.

4. Enable the toggle next to Display contact info and press the checkmark icon to save the changes.

5. If you don’t see the Display contact info option, go back and tap on Profile Display and enable the toggle next to Display contact info.

Note: If multiple forms of contact are added to your profile i.e., phone number, email address, etc., you will see the Contact button on the profile instead of Email or Phone. Users will have to tap on it to see the email address. Alternatively, remove other modes of contact except for the email address. You will then have the Email button on your profile.

How to Add Email to Instagram Story

Instagram offers a native feature to add links in a story using Link sticker. However, the same feature isn’t available for email. But don’t worry, you can still add email in the text form. The only difference is that the email will not be clickable. Users will have to manually copy-paste the email to the email app.

To do so, follow these steps:

1. Open the Instagram app and create a new story.

2. Tap on the Aa icon to add text to your story.

3. Enter the email address that you want to show to people. You can customize the text color, font, and size using the available tools.

4. Tap on Done and press the Your Story button to publish it.
