Was not sure where to post this question but, please help.  When it says on an Instagram post click the link in our bio, what does that mean??? Any help would greatly be appreciated. Happy Labor Day.

I've never seen this, but my guess is that it means that the user wants you to click on a link shown on his or her biography page.

 

Whether or not I do that depends on how I know the user and what the link looks like. If the user is someone I am familiar with and trust, I'll click on the link even if it's a shortened URL (bit.ly/xyz, for example). If I don't know the user and the link does not look familiar, I won't click it.

The user has included information or product details in a link in their home ID/bio attached to that post.  For example, QVC wants to pitch "Surprise Easy Pay for 4 Hours" so they attach a link from their bio.  That link took you not to their homepage, but to the webpage strictly about their Easy Pays coming up. A person or company can change their link anytime, depending on what they want to promote.
