Furthermore, this App offers us several advantages, in addition to some disadvantages. However, and based on this, it should be emphasized that one of the functions that Instagram allows is that of add links in your stories, so I advise you to make adequate and strategic use of links on Instagram.
But if you are one of the users who do not know how to add these links, do not worry because in this article we will explain how to do it and the requirements you must have to be able to do it. So we invite you to take a look at it.
Add links to Instagram Stories
Before starting with the step by step to add links to Instagram Stories, you need to know that there are two essential requirements to carry out this process. Otherwise you cannot add any links.
One of these requirements is have at least 10.000 followers and the other important rule is to have a business profile on Instagram, so you need to create an Instagram profile for businesses. If you respect this, there is no other obstacle preventing you from adding links to Instagram Stories.
Another aspect to keep in mind is that Instagram only allows you to insert links on a user's profile or Instagram Stories. And the latter alternative is recent, since in the beginning it did not have this alternative.
Step by step to insert links on Instagram Stories
After keeping these aspects in mind and seeing each one, you can proceed with each of the steps that we will explain below. Keeping in mind that the process is very short and easy. So it will consume almost no time.
Now, without further ado, let's see how it's done:
- Open the app Instagram
- Once there, click on your profile picture or "Your story" if it is for this, it is the same.
- So you can choose a photo from the gallery of your device or you can take it, that is, take it immediately.
- Several elements are displayed in the upper area. Choose to attach a link, which is in the form of a link.
- Then a new window appears, where you need to add the URL you want and then verify that it works. For this you need to click on the option "Preview link"
- Selecting this alternative will automatically show you what the added link will look like.
- Then hit where it says "Done"
- You will immediately notice that the link element has changed color, becoming a white circle. This confirms that the URL was attached successfully.
- As soon as you have done this step, you can select the option "Your story" and will be published immediately.
- Finally in your story, a button will appear at the bottom that says "See more".
- When you click on this button, the link in question is displayed. And like this and the process is over.
As you can see, the procedure is quick. However, it has the disadvantage that if it does not meet the above requirements, the user cannot add links in Instagram Stories.
Probably, later the Instagram developers will remove this rule from the Application. This way, any user could easily add links. We just have to wait to see what happens next with this App.
Keep in mind that the Instagram application allows you to customize your Stories in many ways, just some great effects are: easily converting Lightroom presets into an Instagram filter and in this way have custom filters. And if you like these cool effects, you can make slow motion videos with Instagram's Boomerang and add flair to your stories.
