Want to promote something on Instagram? How to add a link to your story

Orlando Mayorquin, USA TODAY
Thu, June 9, 2022, 4:34 AM·2 min read

Gone are the days of “link in bio” story posts. In October, Instagram announced that it would expand the ability to add a clickable link directly to a story post.

The new feature gives users the ability to easily promote their work or fundraising campaigns. Only users with verified accounts or large followings could previously include links in their stories.

Everyone else had to resort to instructing their followers to open the link in their account biography, a potentially huge drawback for anyone trying to raise money for a campaign or for anyone who just wanted to share a link for more info. Pasting a link in a post's caption is a non-starter as it won't be clickable, and the app doesn't let users copy text.

Here is how to add links to your Instagram stories.

    Europe seals deal on USB Type-C common charger rules

    European Union co-legislators have reached provisional agreement on a common charging solutions for smartphones, laptops, tablets and other small and medium-sized electronics -- some 15 different categories in all -- agreeing that, by autumn 2024, USB Type-C will be the common charging port for in scope devices. Wireless charging interoperability is also being addressed by the EU -- although not immediately; lawmakers have agreed for the Commission to ask standards authorities to come up with a standard to enable wireless charging interoperability. The Commission will then be empowered to adapt the directive via delegated acts to ensure that a wireless charging kit does not sidestep the requirement for a common approach.

Enterprise design has exploded in the past 10 years, and Figma’s success in stealing the market from Adobe — the aforementioned Goliath — is just one reason we’re thrilled that Dylan Field, Figma’s co-founder and CEO will join us on stage at TechCrunch Disrupt in San Francisco on October 18-20. Consider this: Field was just 20 years old when he started Figma in 2012, and the product became available to the public in 2016.

    Students report that crying during exams activates schools’ anti-cheat software

    Students in remote classes have taken to social media to protest against some teachers’ use of anti-cheating software during exams, with some claiming that crying during exams activates them. In recent years, a growing number of teachers in the U.S. have become dependent on artificial intelligence-based tools to virtually proctor students by monitoring faces and tracking eye movements. Last month, students began to speak out after University of Kentucky professor Josef Fruehwald said in a viral TikTok video that he wouldn't trust professors that use tracking software on students.

    In iOS 16, apps can trigger real-world actions hands-free

    New functionality arriving in iOS 16 will enable apps to trigger real-world actions hands-free. Apple told developers today in a session hosted during the company's Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC) that these hands-free actions could also be triggered even if the iOS user isn't actively using the app at the time. The update, which leverages Apple's Nearby Interaction framework, could lead to some interesting use cases where the iPhone becomes a way to interact with objects in the real world, if developers and accessory makers choose to adopt the technology.

    Analysis - Apple's next frontier is your car's dashboard

    Apple Inc wants to power the dashboard of your next car, but first it must convince automakers they will not end up surrendering future profits to the iPhone company like the makers of flip-phone handsets. Apple on Monday gave a preview of a new generation of its CarPlay software that will migrate from its current home on the entertainment screen to power everything in front of the driver. While the move from one screen to another may seem like a small step for Apple, it's a huge leap in terms of both the technological and business engagement between the iPhone maker and the world's automakers.

    GitLab-spinoff Meltano raises another $8.2M for its open source DataOps platform

    Almost exactly a year ago, GitLab spun out Meltano, an ELT (extract, load, transform) service that is now setting its sights on becoming a more fully featured "DataOps" service. At the time, GitLab, which had originally built the service to improve its own data lifecycle platform, Alphabet's GV and a number of angels, invested $4.2 million in seed funding. As Meltano CEO and GitLab veteran Douwe Maan told me, the original idea behind Meltano was to build an end-to-end data platform, but then the team narrowed its focus back to ELT again between 2020 and 2021, with the Singer open source ELT tool as its core component.

The feature was only briefly mentioned in yesterday's keynote, but in the developer version of iOS 16, the new toggle is appearing already in the automatic updates menu under "Install System and Data Files."
