What is the Instagram swipe up tool?

Instagram’s Swipe Up feature makes it easy to engage audiences and cross-promote content by simply adding links directly to Instagram Stories. The followers can swipe up on a story and tap to access a link without leaving the Instagram app.

Why Instagram Swipe Up is important?

By introducing the features to core users (casual, non-verified users with less than 10k followers), Instagram is able to maximize the engagement level: All types of engagement: comments, shares, and likes are produced solely on the platform.

For businesses, adding a link to stories help brands to building up the marketing funnels straight from the app itself, which leads to a profitable business circle for Instagram itself.

Why can’t I add a link to my Instagram story?

A straight answer: not everyone has access to this feature.

There are currently only two ways to “earn” the option to add links into Instagram stories:

  1. You have at least 10,000 followers and have your profile set up as a Business Account.
  2. You are a verified Instagram user

If so, you can add a link to your story to promote your website, blog, or even a YouTube channel.

How to add link to instagram story with a swipe up?

  • At the top, tap the chain icon to active ‘Insert Link’ option.
  • Click ‘URL,’ insert the link and Done!

Pro tip: Always add a call to action on your Instagram Story with links!
