How to Change the Link in Your X (Twitter) Bio

Last verified 2026-07-06.

Changing the link in your X (Twitter) bio takes about 20 seconds once you know the path. This guide covers the exact navigation, the "changes not showing" cache issue, and how to point X (Twitter) at a link-in-bio page so you never have to edit your profile again just to swap one destination.

Step-by-step

  1. Step 1. Open the X (Twitter) app on your phone (the profile editor works on desktop too for platforms that have one).
  2. Step 2. Navigate to Profile → Edit profile → Website.
  3. Step 3. Clear the existing URL in the Website field.
  4. Step 4. Paste the new URL. Double-check it starts with https:// — X (Twitter) silently drops malformed URLs on some builds.
  5. Step 5. Tap Save. The change is live within a few seconds.

"I saved it but the old link still shows"

X (Twitter) caches profile pages aggressively. If you're checking from another account or a browser tab, force a refresh (pull-to-refresh on mobile, hard reload on desktop) or wait 60 seconds. The change is live on the server the moment you tap Save — the delay is client-side caching.

Change your link once, never again

Instead of editing your X (Twitter) bio every time you release something new, point X (Twitter) at a link-in-bio page (Linklay, Linktree, Beacons). Update the destination inside the link-in-bio tool; your X (Twitter) bio never has to change.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often can I change my X (Twitter) bio link?

As often as you want. X (Twitter) does not rate-limit profile edits.

Does changing the link break existing traffic?

Old cached versions of your profile may show the previous link for up to a minute. New taps route to the new destination immediately.

Can I schedule a link change?

X (Twitter) doesn't ship native scheduling for profile edits. A link-in-bio tool with scheduled links is the standard workaround — swap the destination on a timer without touching X (Twitter).
