Apart from posting images and short videos on your Instagram stories, you can also write texts and use the available stickers. One of the available stickers is the Link sticker. You can use the link sticker to publish and share a link as a story.

A while back, only Instagram users with over 10k followers were able to share links on their stories. Once the link is posted, other users would view the link by performing the “Swipe up” action while on the story with the link.

Recently, Instagram has made the link feature available to everyone. You can use the available link sticker while publishing your story to create a link at any time and with any number of followers. In a previous related article, we discussed how to create a direct link for your WhatsApp group. This piece highlights how to create and post a link on your Instagram story using the link sticker feature.
