The link is added to the Snap
The link becomes a thumbnail; then send your Snap.
The link appears as a "thumbnail" on your Snap. Position it, then send the Snap to your friends or to your Story.

Your Snap now contains a "clickable link": your friends can swipe up (or tap) to open the page. Handy for sharing an article, a shop or a profile.

The recipient opens the link by "swiping up" or tapping the thumbnail.
You can "move and resize" the link thumbnail on the Snap.
Copy the URL "before" opening Snapchat so you can paste it straight from the clipboard.
