Hello,
I am sending a text with a link via instagram dm to approximately 1k-2k people per day. (Please do not ask for the method)
So the first days the link was clickable and now it is not. I know it is probably because of the spam factor but is there any workaround to make the link clickable again?

Even authority accounts with 500k+ followers reported that the links are not clickable in the DMs as of today, most likely a new IG update.

Did you try Domain Redirects or Short Link Providers?

No Instagram didn't detected the link spam factor probably
It's Instagram update glitch

Tried copying the link from another account and pasting it to other account DM and then it started working

Try sending it to your FOLLOWERS, and see if that changes the fact that it's not clickable ?

Yes im doing cpa.
Actually yesterday it has been around 2% so pretty low unfortunately but I didn’t expect it to be much more since it’s really really spammy and as today’s it’s currently 15% but it will get less I think. Since the link is not clickable the conversion might be even lower. People do not want to take extra steps such as copying the link or go to my profile to click the link int the bio

i'm facing the same problem that links are not clickable... Any ideas why? I know that some profiles still sends links and they're clickable and all is good. There is no problem in specific links, because links like facebook, google and other are not cilckable too... Any ideas why? New IG update, bug?

i received this message in my dms today. Saying that some features are not available and that they have to cope with new rules for messaging services in Europe. They are working in fixing it. I don’t now if it ha something to do with our latest problems, but I guess they are not able to cope with the spam and that is their answer to it
