While sharing a story on Instagram, it is sometimes necessary to add a link so that your followers can go check out your product or any other work online.

Instagram has now replaced its swipe-up link feature with link stickers, however, it is still available for those creators who are either verified or have required follower count.
Who can use the link sticker on Instagram?
Only those Instagram users are allowed to add links to their Instagram Stories who have more than 10,000 followers on the platform, and/or have a verified account. Apart from this, someone representing an established brand can also add links to their Stories.
Use the Link Sticker on Instagram Story
So if you fulfill the required criteria to share links in Stories Instagram, here’s how to use link sticker for the same:
1. Open the Instagram app on your phone and tap the + icon on the top right corner.
2. Swipe and select the “Story” option from the given ones and then select the image or video you want to add to your story.
3. Create your Instagram story and edit as per your needs.
