Instagram recently revamped the ability to add links in stories with a new Link Sticker option. Earlier, this functionality was available to select s only and the links showed up as a swipe-up button at the bottom. However, with the recent changes, s can now add links to any part of the story on the screen. The swipe-up method of linking stories on Instagram was only available to s with over 10,000+ followers. However, that restriction has been removed and now all s on Instagram can post a link in their stories using Link Stickers.
