How Viewers Access Your Links
When people view your story with an attached link, they'll see a "More" label at the bottom of the screen. To visit the webpage, they simply swipe up from the bottom. The link opens directly within Snapchat's built-in browser, so they don't need to leave the app.
To make sure viewers notice your link, you can draw arrows or add text pointing to the swipe-up area. This helps guide people to the content you're sharing.
Why Add Links to Your Stories
Adding links to your Snapchat stories opens up several useful possibilities:
- Share interesting content - Direct friends to articles, videos, or websites you find valuable
- Promote your business - Drive traffic to your website, online store, or special offers
- Increase engagement - Give followers more ways to interact with your content
- Track interest - See what types of content resonate with your audience
The process works the same way on both iOS and Android devices, making it accessible to all Snapchat users. Whether you're sharing personal content or building your brand, adding links to your stories is a powerful way to connect your Snapchat presence with the wider web.
