How to add a link on your Snapchat story so friends can visit a website directly

• You can add a link on your Snapchat story by tapping on the paperclip icon while customizing your snap.

• Snapchat will give you the option to add a link you've shared before, search for the link, or paste in a completely new one.

• Once the Snapchat story with a link is posted, viewers can swipe up on the small arrow at the bottom of your snap to visit the link.

Whether you want to share your favorite article or an awesome apartment listing, you can add a link to your Snapchat story so friends can see what you see, too.

This feature doesn't allow users to view the webpage within the app, but it helps your friends avoid having to leave the app and search around for the right site. You can add a link through the paperclip icon. Once you've successfully added a link, the paperclip will appear in a white circle before allowing you to customize the rest of your snap and send it out.

Here's how to add a link to your Snapchat story.
