How to Add Your Secret Message Link to Instagram Stories

by

Why Stories work

Stories put your secret message link in front of the people who already engage with you. They can tap once and send you an anonymous message.

What you’ll need

  • Your URL from Secret Message (tap Create your Link on the homepage).
  • The Instagram app updated to the latest version.

Steps (Link Sticker)

  1. Create a Story (photo/video).
  2. Tap Stickers at the top.
  3. Choose Link, paste your secret message link, and (optionally) customize the sticker text (e.g., Ask me anything).
  4. Post to Your Story.
  5. Save to a Highlight (“Ask Me” / “Anonymous Q&A”) so it persists.
    Instagram’s help confirms Stickers flow and Link sticker behavior; the Link sticker has been available to everyone since late 2021. Instagram Help Centre FacebookInstagram About

Optional: Instagram also lets you customize link-sticker text (e.g., Send an anonymous message). Later

Tips to boost replies

  • Use curiosities: “Confess one thing,” “What should I improve?”, “Roast me (nicely)”.
  • Post at peak hours; reshare 1–2× per week.
  • Pair the sticker with a face-to-camera clip to invite questions.

Troubleshooting

  • Link opens slowly / breaks inside IG’s browser: ask users to tap the three dots and open in a regular browser.
  • Can’t find Link sticker: update the Instagram app; Link sticker is generally available.
