Instagram’s famous swipe up feature was removed a while ago. You could access the links that the creators shared in their stories by swiping up. Instagram announced that it will remove this feature, but will replace it with a link sticker. However, the link sticker was only available for verified accounts or creators who have reached a certain number of followers.
Instagram’s link sticker will be available to all users
Instagram, which is owned by Facebook, is a popular social media platform and tries to attract the attention of users with the updates it brings. Its innovations, especially for content creators, are more popular. Instagram started testing the link sticker in June, and many creators have enjoyed using it.
According to Instagram, link stickers are useful for everyone, from businesses looking to showcase their products to outsourced activists. The company announced that anyone can use link stickers to interact with their followers. In addition, the company stated that users who repeatedly put a link sticker on sites that contain false information or hate speech will lose access to their accounts.
When Instagram started testing the feature in June, it stressed that it would only be for Stories. So it will not be brought to any post or for Reels.
How to make a link sticker on Instagram?
To add a link, after uploading content to your story, go to the extraction tool from the top navigation, tap the “Link” tag and enter the URL you want. The link sticker works like any Story sticker.
