To link on Instagram you needed 10k followers and then you could add a ‘swipe up link’.
But soon, Instagram Stories will add a link sticker. There is also a rumour that this will be available to smaller accounts.
The new link sticker should have been introduced since the start of September. So you should see the end to swipe up links and now instead a button! Has anyone seen this yet? Instagram always seem to roll things out slowly.
People with less than 10K followers have been asking for the ability to link from stories. It seems Instagram wants to see how people can benefit from this and will also be experimenting with this feature! This is pretty big news! It means you would finally be able to link to your website or shop. IG hasn’t been great for that previously (like at all), so this would be a good development!
Has anyone seen this on their Stories yet???
I have seen a few popular Youtubers have this function in their IG stories, but I haven’t noticed anyone with low follower count have this. I really hope it rolls out for everyone cause then I don’t have to tell people to go to the link in my bio but could send them straight to the site.
This would be amazing!
I want 10K followers JUST for this link function – so getting a shortcut to it would help stop the obsessing over follower numbers!!

This would be really big since there is NO way to link from posts or videos!
