Instagram stories are temporary posts that disappear after 24 hours. You can copy links to stories using the right-click method.
To copy a story link, first navigate to the profile page that has the story you want to copy. You can do this by clicking on the username or profile link from any post or search.
On the profile page, locate the stories section at the top. Right-click on the story you want to copy the link for. From the context menu that appears, click "Copy Link" to copy the story link to your clipboard.
An alternative method to copy post links is by right-clicking directly on the post. This method is quick and doesn't require opening any menus.
You can also right-click directly on any post in your feed or on a profile page. From the context menu that appears, select "Copy link address" to get the direct link to the post. This method works on both individual posts and posts in your feed.
