In short: what we’re doing
The task is simple – to make it so that a person from TikTok gets to your Telegram with one tap. In practice, it’s most often done like this: a clickable link is placed in the Website field in the profile header and the mention is duplicated in the video itself. If the Website field is unavailable – switch the account to business, or use a multi-link.
To maximize simplicity for the audience and not lose clicks on phones, how to make a link to a telegram profile is often used. In this practical example, an exact copy of the link, proper profile registration, and testing on different devices before publication are important.
Below are quick methods, where mistakes are most common, and what to check to ensure the link definitely works on iOS and Android.
| Method | Clickable | Where visible | When suitable | Cons |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Link in profile header – Website field | Yes | Profile | Need stable entry to TG from any video | Field can be unavailable – depends on account type and region |
| Multi-link in profile header | Yes | Profile | If direct t.me is cut by moderation or several links are needed | Extra click for the user |
| Link in video description | Usually not | Under video | When you just need to hint the path – See in bio | Not clickable for most accounts without ads |
| Link in pinned comment | Usually not | Comments | Support for video, if bio is far away | Also not clickable, easily gets lost |
Method 1 – link in profile header
Steps
- Open TikTok – Profile.
- Tap Edit Profile.
- If you see the Links block or Website field – tap and paste the full link like https://t.me/username.
- Save – check from another device that the link is clickable and opens Telegram.
Testing on different devices guarantees that the telegram link to profile will work for all visitors.
If there is no Website field – enable a business account: Profile – menu – Settings and Privacy – Account – Account type – Switch to Business. Return to Edit Profile and check for the field. It’s important to check one often-forgotten point – sometimes the field appears after restarting the app.
What link format to use
In practice, a simple https link to the username is most often used. Without shorteners and without tg-protocols. This is more reliable and gets cut by moderation less often.
| Format | Example | In bio | In video description | Comment |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Direct https to username | https://t.me/username | Works stably | As text, usually not clickable | As text, usually not clickable |
| Invitation link | https://t.me/+code | Usually ok | As text, usually not clickable | As text, usually not clickable |
| tg-protocol | tg://resolve?domain=username | Not clickable | Not clickable | Not clickable |
| Shortener | bit.ly, cutt.ly | Can be blocked | As text, usually not clickable | As text, usually not clickable |
Method 2 – multi-link in bio
If direct t.me gets cut or you also need to provide a website, email, WhatsApp – it’s convenient to set up a multi-link. Services create one page with buttons, and you only add that link to TikTok. In practice, this solves two problems – passing moderation and storing several links in one place.
Steps
- Create a multi-link page with the Telegram button first in the list.
- Copy the page address – it should be https and without redirect chains.
To combine contacts on one page, it’s convenient to also include a button for how to create a link to a telegram group to direct the audience straight to the chat.
- In TikTok, paste it into the Website field as in method 1.
- Check opening on iOS and Android – on Wi-Fi and mobile data.
It’s better to make your own simple page on your site’s domain – one screen, one big Telegram button. You can also add a telegram link in taplink button to combine several channels and direct the audience straight there. This is the most predictable option without shorteners getting banned.
Method 3 – what to do if there’s no clickability
Sometimes, neither in a personal nor a business account does the Website field appear. Then we play from the content – give a clear path in the video and duplicate it in the bio text. The person understands where to tap, even if clicking isn’t available.
Mini-scenario
- In the video itself, show a Telegram QR code and a caption “Link in profile”.
- In the video description write: Link to TG in profile – updated today.
To connect users with one tap, use the instructions for how to create a link to a telegram bot.
- Pin a comment: Open profile – Website button – leads to our TG.
- Update the current video every 1-2 weeks – so the hint stays fresh.
Common problems and quick solutions
| Problem | How it manifests | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Link doesn’t save | After tapping Save, the field is empty | Restart the app – update TikTok – use a different https format – remove UTM and extra symbols |
| Says invalid link | Error when entering | Check for https – replace shortener with direct t.me – try a multi-link or your own domain |
| Website button disappeared | No field in Edit Profile | Switch to business account – restart the app – check again in a day |
| It’s clickable, but Telegram doesn’t open | Browser opens with a blank page | Open the link in mobile Telegram beforehand – check that the app is allowed for link opening – check on another device |
| Link works for you, but not for the audience | Complaints in the comments | Check on iOS and Android – on mobile data – without VPN – simplify the link to https://t.me/username |
Sometimes there are moderation restrictions, which explains why a telegram channel link doesn’t work and requires simplifying the link format.
Account limitations and nuances
On TikTok, the interface depends on the account type, region, and age. Therefore, we focus not on a rule, but on the fact of the field’s presence in your profile. If the field is there – we use it. If not – we act according to the plan below.
For users, it’s important to remember a separate path, indicating link to delete telegram account, if you need to manage your account.
| Situation | What you see | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Personal account | Edit Profile may not have Website field | Check availability – if not, switch to business – check again |
| Business account | Website field is more often available | Use a direct or multi-link – test the transitions |
| New account | Interface changes, field may not appear immediately | Wait 24-72 hours – close/open the app – update it |
| Regional restrictions | Field is stably absent | Use a multi-link on your own domain – make visual hints in the video |
Check yourself – short checklist
- The link in the bio is entered in the Website field, not in the profile description.
- The link format is a simple https without tg-protocol and without extra parameters.
- The link opens on iOS and Android – checked on two devices.
- There’s a clear caption “Link in profile” in the video and a QR code if necessary.
- If direct t.me doesn’t work – a multi-link or your own short URL is used.
Sometimes an address update is required, then they use hints from the guide on how to change a bot link in telegram for a correct transition.
When it’s better not to do this
Don’t put several links through shorteners at once – a high chance of blocks. Don’t hide Telegram deep on a multi-landing – extra clicks kill transitions. Don’t leave just @username in the bio – it’s not clickable.

Mini-FAQ
Is it possible to make a clickable link directly in the video description?
Usually not. The reliable option is only the Website field in the profile.
Shortener doesn’t work – what to do
Use direct t.me or a page on your own domain without a redirect chain.
Is a multi-link needed?
If you have one Telegram – not needed. If there are 3-5 contact points – it’s convenient.
Summary
The fastest and most predictable way is to put an https link to Telegram in the Website field in the profile header. If the field is unavailable – switch to a business account or use a multi-link page on your own domain.
Before publishing, check clicks from two devices and add a simple “Link in profile” hint to the video. This way you cover both those who click in the bio and those who only watch the video.
What’s your scenario – one link to a channel or several contact points, including a website and a bot chat in TG?
