Instagram’s Swipe Up feature will disappear

The social network Instagram decided to use, as of August 30, the stickers to access the web links that users include in their stories, in addition to having the option to customize it. This is how it eliminates the function of sliding up or “Swipe Up”. This change is mainly due to the fact that users are more familiar with stickers.

With the measure, users will be able to respond to the links previously added, when opening the web page, since it was not possible to respond because the option to react was disabled. Additionally, the function will have different styles so that users can choose their favorites and will be able to vary the size or arrangement of the stories, as well as the surveys and questions.

The social network Instagram has been testing the function of the stickers for several weeks to avoid difficulties and limitations for the time of its launch, which is scheduled for the end of August.

According to what is reported by Instagram, for now the new function can only be used for verified accounts or those that have more than 10,000 followers in their registry. The social network indicated that it is evaluating the feasibility so that all its users can enjoy the new function, but for now they must assess its operation and performance with those who have access.

By the end of August we will begin to touch the stickers to visualize the shared link and we will forget to swipe up.
