Instagram is a very complete social network, and it has a special purpose of listening to its audience; it is so much so that its innovations do not stop in front of its competition, and that is to create new resources based on what they are on the market and improve it; it is selling like hot cakes, quickly to all users of this social network and what not too.
Now in Instagram you will be able to place the missing link to your posts, without having to have the 10K.
The idea of Instagram is that users have access to all the tools offered by the app. So if you have an Instagram account, you can enjoy the famous swipe up.
To date, only those users with verified accounts or with more than 10,000 followers could share external links in their stories while the rest of us mortals had to settle for being able to put a link in the biography.

What is confirmed is that very soon users of the application will be able to publish photos and edit them through the web version. In addition, Adam Mosseri, director of Instagram, explained relevant information about how the platform’s algorithms work.
