Instagram is finally letting anyone post links via stories. The company started testing this feature for a limited number of users. The new link feature isn’t a swipe-up action, instead, it’s a linking sticker that operates the same way a swipe-up link does. Users need to tap the sticker to visit a website.
To add links to Instagram Stories, Open Instagram, go to stories, add your story and then tap on Stickers and select link sticker, provide the URL and post your story.
Instagram says this feature is limited as of now and wants to how people use the links in their stories. Once the company is confident about the links feature it should roll out widely. As of now for most people to post links, they must have at least over 10,000 followers or a verified account.
Note: Instagram’s link stickers, which allow you to include hyperlinks in Stories as stickers, are now available to all users on the platform.
