Because links on Instagram Stories are not clickable, they might be difficult and ineffective to share. To see what the Instagram person posting intended to reveal on their posts, one can only hope that the viewers remember or write it out the URL.
Instagram users may now post links to any portion of the screen's narrative. Previously, only Instagram users with more than 10,000 followers could link stories using the swipe-up function. Since the limitation has been lifted, all Instagram users may now utilise 'Link Stickers' to add a link to their stories.
Steps To Add A Link To Your Instagram Story
Step 1: Open Instagram.
Step 2: Click on the camera icon on the left side of the screen or swipe left to open the camera.
Step 3: Choose an old photo from your gallery or take a brand-new photograph.
Step 4: You can also choose a post from another Instagram account to share on your story.
Step 5: Viewers of your story will be able to see the posts if they are public.
Step 6: Once you have a photo for your story, click the paperclip or link symbol at the top of the screen.
Step 7: Select the Link sticker which appears on your menu.
Step 8: Copy the link you wish to use in your story from its original location.
Step 9: In the Link sticker, paste the URL of the website you want to link to.
Step 10: Tap the sticker to see other color combinations.
Step 11: To save it, press Done. Your viewers will now be able to click on the link.
