The link swapup feature given with stories in Instagram is now being retired . This feature allows users to visit the website with the link given in the story. But from August 30, instead of a swap-up link, link stickers will now be used for this purpose.  Instagram has confirmed that tabable stickers will now be used to take them to external websites, The Verge reported.
