JAKARTA – Instagram has reportedly removed the swipe up option in the Stories feature. This change has been questioned by many users, especially those with many followers.
Because, the option to swipe up is quite important for influencers when promoting content. But with the loss of the ability to swipe up on Instagram Stories and replace it with sticker links, of course content promotion is no longer exclusive.
“We are constantly working to improve the user experience of using Instagram Stories, and this new sticker test also allows our users to be more creative when adding links to their Stories,” said a Facebook spokesperson quoted by VOI on Tuesday, June 1. .
The Swipe Up option is known to work by embedding a link in it, if a user can already share it in stories. Followers can then swipe through the stories that have been pinned to the link.
However, if the Swipe Up option is replaced with a link sticker, then the follower needs to press the tag link to review the embedded link first, then if the link is deemed safe for the follower, then they can proceed to the link. .
“We will begin a sticker link test that makes it easy for users to share other users’ links in Stories and expand the link test access to a small percentage of users,” said a Facebook spokesperson.
Instagram recognizes that sharing links or links will provide new ways to support and simplify everyday activities, as well as share what is important.
Additionally, sharing links by swiping up has been an important way and point, especially for educational organizations and institutions to drive change around equality and social justice over the past year.
“We are also focused on researching and developing solutions to control the risk of the spread of criminals, spam and misinformation that may arise from this feature,” he added.
