Why am I unable to add a link to my TikTok bio?
Even if you have a business account, you may have trouble adding a link to your TikTok bio. Here are a few frequently cited issues that may cause link problems:
Computer browser: For the time being, only the TikTok mobile app allows you to include clickable links in your bio. So, make sure you’re using your phone rather than your computer.
Personal account: This is the most common reason. Instead of converting your personal account to a business account, you keep it.
Your account does not have this feature enabled: While TikTok has now enabled this feature for almost everyone, some people still do not have it. If this is the case for you, there is currently nothing you can do about it.

How to Add a TikTok Bio Link Without a Business Account
The following are tried-and-true methods for successfully adding a link to your TikTok bio
By Becoming a TikTok Creator
A Creator account is much more than a regular account because creators have access to special features. Here’s how to become an official creator on the TikTok mobile app.
The first step is to obtain a minimum of “one thousand followers (1,000),” after which you will automatically unlock the feature of starting a live video as well as the ability to add a link to your TikTok bio.
Although there has been some discussion about whether users with fewer than 1000 followers can become creators. As of March 2022, the minimum number of followers required to become a creator is one thousand.
However, Follow Chain had stated and quoted TikTok saying that you still have to turn your account to a business account once you hit 1,000 followers before being able to add links to your bio.
Conclusion
It’s actually still possible for you to put more links in your bio besides social links without changing your account to a business account.
However, it does come with a requirement of having at least 1,000 following. It’s not impossible, but it’s not instant as well.
