Instagram is now expanding the option to embed links on insta stories to all its users that have access to its Link Sticker feature, this featured option gives users the access to embed links on their instagram Stories. The roll out happened as a result the social platform forgo the “swipe-up” link which was previously on Instagram Stories and instead opted in for the new Link Stickers.

However the previous “swipe-up” link as well as new Link Sticker feature have only been available to businesses and influencers-profiles and creators accounts.

According to Instagram who relates “sharing link is of course helpful in many ways to accounts of all sizes and types, hence the reason it’s expanding the link share access to allow all its users to post what they want in their Stories with the privilege of embedding links on them.

Purpose of Link sharing
Link sharing has been mainly utilized by creators as well as businesses and promoters to direct their story viewers to a website to learn more about a particular product or services.

“We concluded with this decision as regards to the feedbacks received from the community as to how impactful it would be for creators and businesses both large and small to benefit from sharing link to enhance and grow in the same way larger accounts do,” – Instagram in a statement.

How To Access Instagram Link Share

Then select the “Link Sticker”, then proceed to embed your desired link after which tap “Done.”
Next proceed to place the sticker at any position you desire on your story. You can also tap on it to see the other color variations.

Going forward, the social platform stated that the reason link share took this long to be rolled out to everyone is because the company needed to carefully consider it’s importance as it could interface with the app’s integrity and safety. Given that Spammers and hackers could utilize this in their favour by posting spam and hacking links thus luring users to click on them and also it’s could expand the spread of incessant misinformation.
