The tool replaces another one that became well known in Brazil with the famous “Arrasta pra cima”, which was only available to those who had at least 10 thousand followers. With the links in the form of stickers, now the only needs to touch it with their finger instead of using the drag gesture to access the content of the link.
According to the social network, link stickers are a great option for companies to share their products, in addition to favoring smaller content creators, who previously could not promote their work through links because they did not have access to the tool. Instagram also highlighted that profiles that share spam pages or propagate fake news may lose access to link sharing in Stories.
One of the main advantages of the new format over the old one is that it can position the link in an area where the finds it more attractive. On the other hand, the sticker takes up more space on the screen and, depending on the content to be shared, it can leave the story with an excess of information. The sticker also allows a color variation, which can be changed by clicking on it.
