"From organizing and educating around equity, social justice, and mental well-being to showcasing new product drops to customers, link sharing is helpful in many ways — so now we're giving access to everyone," the company said in a press release.

2. Select the sticker tool

Once you're satisfied with the way your content looks, click the sticker tool from the top navigation bar. Here, you'll see options to add a location, a mention, a question, a GIF, and more. You'll also see the option to add a link.

In a press release, Instagram said you'll be able to tap on the sticker to see color variations. The company is working on ways to customize the sticker even more, though, in order to make it more clear where the link will take users when they tap it.

Instagram said they would work to ensure that accounts that share harmful content through the link sticker, like hate speech or misinformation, will lose access to the sticker.

This comes at a particularly messy time for Facebook and Instagram. Over the past few months, multiple whistleblowers have come out from the company with internal documents that show the company is prioritizing profit over the wellbeing of its users.
