Why Am I Not Allowed to Include a Link in My TikTok Bio?
If you are unable to add a link to your bio, change your account type from Personal to Pro. Remember that after changing your account type, you will no longer be able to use some songs that are not licensed for commercial use.
If you already have a Pro account but can’t add a link to your bio, your TikTok probably needs to be updated. Check the AppStore on an iPhone or the Google Play Store on an Android device to see if updates are available. You can also do this from your device’s Settings app.

How Do I Return to My TikTok Personal Account?
While the TikTok Pro account is free, it does have some limitations. Some songs, for example, are not licensed for commercial use and thus cannot be used. If you change your mind about switching account types and want to revert to a Personal account, follow the steps below:
- Open the TikTok app on your smartphone. The browser version will not allow you to do this.
- Tap your profile picture in the bottom right corner of the screen.
- Select the three-line icon in the upper right corner of your profile photo.
- From the menu, choose “Switch to Personal Account.”
- Return to the main page. You now have a personal account that contains no links.
Can I include a link in my personal bio?
A hyperlink cannot be added to a personal bio. You can, however, include a URL in your bio. Unfortunately, users who want to view your website will have to copy the URL and paste it into a browser.
Can you add a link to your bio from your computer?
Because the desktop version’s functionality is limited, there is no way to add a link to your TikTok bio via a browser. You can, however, still log in and watch videos from your PC.
Conclusion
You can expect an increase in traffic to your TikTok bio now that you’ve added a link to it. If you followed all of the steps correctly but still don’t see the option to add a link, the TikTok version in your region may be out of date. Because the developers are gradually adding this feature, some users may not be able to use it yet. That may appear to be unfair, but be patient and check your profile Settings again in a few days. Hopefully, the requested feature will be available.
