Instagram is testing a new way to share links in stories through
stickers. Previously only verified and 10,000+ followers users could share links with a swipe, but now Instagram is testing a new feature that would be available to a
wider audience
Instagram's product head
Vishal Shah said that
"it's mostly to learn how people might take advantage of links". They'll be watching for the types of links people post while keeping a particular eye on misinformation and spam
Having links in Stickers would enable users to also reply to an Instagram Story, which was not possible with the swipe-up gesture
Instagram is currently testing the feature with a small audience, and yet, there is no information when they will conduct a roll out for all its users
