JAKARTA – Soon Instagram will provide sticker feature in Stories so users can share links with others. This feature is still in the testing phase, so it cannot be used by all users.
In addition, this sticker also works where other users can provide feedback, such as comments via direct messages. Previously, this could not be done on the swipe up Instagram stories feature.
Instagram Product Manager Vishal Shah gave a reason why this feature has yet to be rolled out. The reason is that the social media service still wants to expand on how this feature can benefit users.
Another reason for linking via Sticker, Shah says, is that it fits into the habits that are currently popular among users. However, currently the link sticker will only be applied specifically to Insta Stories. Shah said there are no plans to add link functionality to the feed or other parts of the app.
“This is the kind of future system that we want to achieve. If we can succeed in this innovation, then this is what we hope to launch, ”Shah said, quoted by The Verge, Thursday July 1.
However, it is not explained whether this feature will be rolled out to all users or only to those who have received the swipe up feature with a minimum number of 10,000 subscribers or not.
In addition, Instagram also keeps an eye on the types of links shared. Because they want to avoid embedded links that spread disinformation or spam.
