How to Add a Link to Your Instagram Story (And View Them Anonymously)

Want to drive traffic from your Instagram Story — or view someone else's Story links without them knowing? Here's exactly how to do both, no login required.

Why Add a Link to Your Instagram Story?

Instagram Stories are temporary but powerful. Adding a link to your Story lets you:

  • Drive traffic to a product, blog, or YouTube video
  • Share affiliate links or promotions
  • Boost engagement without cluttering your profile

And since it’s clickable, your audience doesn’t need to swipe up or leave the app to check it out.


Step-by-Step: How to Add a Link to Your Instagram Story

  1. Start a Story: Open Instagram, take a photo/video or select one from your gallery.
  2. Tap the sticker icon: This is usually at the top of the screen.
  3. Select the “Link” sticker: Paste your URL and customize the sticker text if you want.
  4. Post it!: Once live, anyone can tap the sticker and visit your link instantly.

That’s it. No business account or follower minimums required anymore — anyone can use link stickers.


How to View Instagram Story Links Anonymously

This is where GhostPeek comes in.

If you're curious about a Story link but don’t want the account owner to know you viewed their Story, you can use GhostPeek to check:

  • Whether a Story is active
  • If it contains a link sticker
  • Where that link leads — all without logging into Instagram

Why View Stories Anonymously?

Sometimes you want to stay under the radar. People use anonymous Story viewing for reasons like:

  • Checking on a partner or ex without alerting them
  • Watching a competitor’s content privately
  • Just casual curiosity — without appearing on their viewer list

GhostPeek keeps it private. No tracking. No Instagram account. No footprint.


How GhostPeek Handles Story Links

GhostPeek captures Instagram Stories from public accounts in real time. That means you can:

  • View Story content while it's live
  • Access link stickers and follow them
  • Never log in or interact with the story source

It’s the simplest way to see what’s being shared — especially when you don’t want to be seen.


Important: This Only Works on Public Accounts

If an Instagram account is private, neither GhostPeek nor any other tool can view their Stories or link stickers. GhostPeek works exclusively with public content.


Wrap-Up: Full Control on Both Sides

Whether you're posting a link to promote something or trying to view one without being detected, you have more options than ever.

Post freely. Browse anonymously. GhostPeek makes both possible — no login, no stress.

Try GhostPeek now to view Story links with total privacy.

Because staying curious shouldn't cost you your anonymity.
