These stickers are available on Instagram from tonight and the multi-author story will be from tomorrow night.

Meanwhile, Instagram recently unveiled the link stickers on the platform. The new feature will allow users to include hyperlinks in the stories in the form of stickers. Though the feature was being tested since June, it was limited to only verified pages or accounts with a large follower base. To access the new stickers, you need to go to the top navigation bar after uploading content on the Stories. Next, tap on the Link sticker available and enter the URL you wish to share. Now, share the story with your followers.
The sticker has been introduced only for the Stories section and Instagram has no plan to bring it to the main Instagram feed or other parts of the application. The sticker is a replacement for the Swipe Up feature that was discontinued in August this year.
