How to add links in Instagram Stories (without 10k followers)

How to add links to Instagram Stories: Here we will be taking a look at how you can post a link in your Instagram Story as a link sticker.

Instagram has removed the swipe-up feature and now the links can only be added as a sticker

Instagram earlier only used to allow select users to add links as a swipe-up option to their stories. It recently revamped the feature to show up as a link sticker that all users can add to their stories.

To recall, the swipe-up link feature was only made available to users with over 10,000 followers. However, with the revamp, the company has made it available for all of its users. Here we will be taking a look at how you can post a link in your Instagram Story as a link sticker.

How to add URL links to Instagram Stories

Before we start with the steps, take note that the feature is still rolling out to everyone and might take a bit of time to show up in your Instagram account. Also, the company has removed the swipe-up feature and now the links can only be added as a sticker, which can be pasted anywhere inside of a Story.

  • Open Instagram and make a Story by clicking or adding a photo/video.
  • Once added, you will then be required to swipe up to open the sticker tray.
  • Now find the 'Link' option from inside of the tray. It will be located just below the GIF sticker and next to the poll sticker.
  • Click on the 'Link' option and then paste the URL that you want to add inside of the story.
  • The link that you just input will now show up as a sticker inside of the Story. You can move around the sticker, placing it where you want it inside of the Story.
  • The link sticker that shows up is clickable, which once clicked will take the user viewing the Story to the website inside of the URL.
  • After you are satisfied with the positioning and the placement of the link sticker, you can then post the Story on your account by tapping on the Share button.
