That's right, on August 30th Instagram will no longer have the option to drag the story up. But don't panic, you can still share links. The new process will be done through special stickers.
The information was shared by the platform to The Verge website. The goal, according to Instagram, is to make stories more agile. From the change, the user will have more creative control, since the stickers can be in different places. You can already imagine that the stickers that indicate “drag to the top” will lose their function.
The news has been speculated for some time by users and developers. During the last few months, the new feature has been operating on a test basis by some specific users.
With the change, many people were hopeful of being able to add links in stories. However, Instagram has already warned that the change will only affect those profiles that already had the mechanism released. That is, it will still be necessary to have 10,000 followers or more to use the new stickers.
The news started to spread widely this week as a warning was issued by the platform. Some users came across the message indicating the end of “drag up” this Monday (23).
The last date will be the 30th of August, therefore, next Monday. The most attached will still have a little time to say goodbye to the beloved “drags up”. After all, the tool was a much desired goal for instagramers.
Now, it is waiting to know how the acceptance of the new feature will be and what possibilities it will bring. After all, every update arrives filled with expectations and new paths to follow on the network.
