What is best way to add Facebook and Twitter to profiles?

I have been searching but I can’t believe that this question hasn’t be addressed before. I guess I am not using the proper terms.

I am trying to figure out the best way to add fields to the profile that would display Twitter and Facebook LINKS without making the user type in html tags. I would think that there is a plugin or something for this but I can’t find one.

Any advice is welcomed

When you put a url into the profile fields it auto links it.

I guess I just need to clearer in telling members in how to type in the full URL. It would be great to add it to core so it would display twitter and facebook icons something to make it easier for non geeks to enter and find the information

If you use custom profile filters plugin (https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/custom-profile-filters-for-buddypress/) and add a field labeled “Twitter”, user can enter their Twitter handle and the plug-in will automatically convert it to their Twitter URL. No need to enter URL.
