Open the Instagram app.
On the bottom of the page, tap on the icon with a profile photo to access the profile page.
Click on “Edit Profile” and then click on “Bio.”

Click on three lines icon in the upper right corner, and in the menu on the right, choose “QR Code.”

How to Edit Your Instagram Bio: Browser (Windows, MacBook, or Chromebook)

Many Instagram users are using their computers to write posts on Instagram. If they’re developing their business, they’re spending a lot of time on their profiles, analyzing traffic, communicating with their followers, and creating new posts.

Since even the biggest phone screens are smaller than a computer monitor, many entrepreneurs decided to start using Instagram on the big screen of their laptop, MacBook, Chromebook, or desktop computer.

Here’s how to change your Instagram bio from computer:

Open the Instagram app or type Instagram.com in your browser.
Enter your username and password.
Once you log in, click on your profile picture and username.
Click on the “Edit Profile” button that’s located on the right side of your username.
Here you can change your profile photo, name, username, website, bio, and other options.
When you change your bio, click on “Submit” to save all your changes.
Now everyone can see your new Instagram bio.

Everything Starts with a Bio

There’s not a lot of information you can share in 150 characters. That’s why your Instagram bio should be concise and engaging. Plus, you’ll need to include a link to your website or other social media profiles.

Once you know how to write and edit your bio on Instagram, creating new posts will be easier than you thought. Now that you know more about managing your profile information, you can create a profile that will offer great content or, who knows, maybe even develop a business.

How often do you change your Instagram bio and profile photo? Are you using Instagram on the computer, or do you only use the phone app?
