Among the most interesting options of Instagram is that of sharing links through stories . It is an ideal tool for content creators, since they can optimize the interaction of their followers with the material they make and publish on the web. Historically this function has been limited to verified users or with more than 10,000 followers, but this will change very soon.
Instagram will allow basically all users of the platform to include links in their stories . This will be through the dedicated sticker that was implemented some time ago to replace the swipe up or “slide up”. It is worth noting that its operation is very similar to that of the other available stickers; they just have to find it, paste the link they want to share, and add it to the publication.
In the last time, Instagram had begun to expand the option of incorporating links in stories, but now its intention is that the majority of users gain access to it. It is expected to be available globally as the hours go by.
It is important to note that there are specific limitations on who can or cannot use the sticker for the links in the stories. According to Instagram, new accounts – that is, newly opened ones – will not be able to use this feature immediately. While the option will be blocked in the profiles that use it to promote the viralization of disinformation and hate speech. For their part, accounts that violate in any other way the platform's policies will not be able to include links in the stories either.
Instagram makes massive a function highly sought after by users
Instagram's decision to expand access to the sticker to share links in stories will undoubtedly be very welcome. Today there are many users who use their profiles to share stories related to their work or their undertakings . And for the most part they pretend to do so without necessarily considering themselves as influencers.
This “new” option will be of great help to them, as they can drastically enhance their use of Instagram and expand the reach of their publications; and without the pressure of not being known enough to qualify for verification, or not having the necessary amount of followers to unlock this coveted feature.
