LinkedIn Introduces “Swipe Up” Links Feature to Stories

Image
Last year in September, LinkedIn was spotted testing out the “swipe up” links features, and after all these months, the company has finally rolled it out. Users can now add links to their LinkedIn Stories. But as of now, this feature may not be available to all users worldwide. With the release of this feature, when a user adds a link to his/her story, it will show a “see more” swipe-up option to the story viewers. Users can add a URL to their story by tapping the newly added “link” icon available in the various LinkedIn Stories options at the top right side of their composer screen. Other people can access this URL by simply swiping up on the screen, just like they do on other platforms with a similar feature, such as Instagram and Snapchat.

Instagram Is Focusing on Reels, Users Are Disappointed

Image
  Instagram is one of the most popular social media platforms that people today love to spend time on. However, if you have been keeping up with it recently, you must have noticed it has introduced many changes over a relatively short period. But the latest update has turned out to be a disaster (we guess it is safe to say so considering the outrage among users) as it hints that the platform is shifting its focus towards the “Reels” feature, which has disappointed its loyal users.  If you have logged in to your Instagram account over the last few days, you must have observed a teeny-tiny but significant change in the user interface.  Well, if you remember, a few months ago, Instagram replaced the “Explore” button with “Reels” and shifted the former at the top of the screen beside the direct message icon. This change caused quite a discomfort as users would habitually click on the button that earlier opened their explore feed only to find reels videos there.  A simila...
