Android - Link on a webpage to open instagram app

To create a link on a webpage that opens the Instagram app, you can use the following format for the URL:

Basic URL Format

  1. Profile Link: To link to a specific Instagram profile:

    <a href="instagram://user?username=USERNAME">Open Instagram Profile</a>

    Replace USERNAME with the actual Instagram username.

  2. Post Link: To link to a specific post:

    <a href="instagram://media?id=MEDIA_ID">Open Instagram Post</a>

    Replace MEDIA_ID with the ID of the Instagram media.

Example HTML

Here's a simple example of how you can implement this in your HTML:

<!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head> <meta charset="UTF-8"> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"> <title>Open Instagram</title> </head> <body> <h1>Open Instagram</h1> <a href="instagram://user?username=USERNAME">Open Instagram Profile</a> <a href="instagram://media?id=MEDIA_ID">Open Instagram Post</a> </body> </html>

Notes

  • Fallback URL: You might want to include a fallback URL that opens Instagram in a web browser if the app is not installed:

    <a href="instagram://user?username=USERNAME" onclick="window.open('https://www.instagram.com/USERNAME'); return false;">Open Instagram Profile</a>

  • Deep Links: Ensure that deep linking is supported in the Instagram app. Most modern devices should handle this correctly.
