You may have seen that some Instagram accounts can post links in their stories. This feature was reserved for users that had 10,000 or more followers. It is now available for everyone, regardless of their follower count.<\/p>\n

      Opening links in Instagram story<\/h3>\n

      The original option for adding a link to a story required that users swipe up to go to the link. The sticker works differently. To open a link in an Instagram story;<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Go to the Instagram story with the link.<\/li>\n
      2. Tap once on the link sticker.<\/li>\n
      3. Tap on the Visit Link tooltip.<\/li>\n
      4. The link will open in your default browser.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        The link sticker will offer some hint as to which website you will be redirected to but if it isn\u2019t a popular website, be careful. It\u2019s unlikely that a phone will be infected by tapping on a malicious link but you shouldn\u2019t take the chance. Don\u2019t tap on links if you\u2019re following unknown or untrustworthy accounts.<\/p>\n

        Conclusion<\/h2>\n

        Instagram does not offer stats for link views. You can see who has viewed your story but you cannot see if they tapped\/visited the link in it. Each story or each post in your story can have its own separate link.\u00a0<\/p>\n

        Instagram does not shorten links however, it will display the domain that you will be visiting. This is easy to get around if someone is using a URL shortener. Instagram will not check where the shortened URL redirects to so if you\u2019re trying to promote something, it\u2019s best to use the original link.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
