Swipe-up Feature
Instagram allows users to include links in every story they post at the top of the bio and landing page. Users with more followers realized the benefit of having significant links to their stories. Businesses provide thirty percent of the favorably viewed Instagram Stories, and customers can swipe and reach the landing page.

The user needs to either swipe right or press “+” at the top left corner of their account to upload their desired content. Once the user uploads the content, they can click on a chain icon to include a link of their choice. If the user’s story reaches numerous viewers and is sustained online for a significant period, the user can have them in the “Highlights” section. Therefore the people who missed viewing the important story can watch it later at their preferred time.
