Feeling Anonymous? How to Add an NGL Link to Your Instagram Story (Because Inbox Honesty Can Be Brutal)
Let's face it, our Instagram feeds are carefully curated highlight reels. Sunshine, vacations, perfectly arranged avocado toast (is that still a thing?). But what about the real, unfiltered you? The one who burns toast, cries during dog food commercials, and secretly wishes they could wear pajamas all day?
This is where NGL comes in, my friends. NGL stands for "Not Gonna Lie," which is exactly what your followers will be doing when they answer your questions anonymously through this nifty app. Ready to ditch the sugarcoating and delve into the honest (and hopefully hilarious) opinions of your Insta-fam? Buckle up, buttercup, because we're about to add that NGL link like a social media boss.
Step 1: Download the NGL App (Because Magic Doesn't Happen on Its Own)
Head over to the App Store or Google Play Store and search for "NGL: anonymous questions & answers." Download and open the app. It's free, and trust me, the entertainment value is priceless.
Step 2: Brace Yourself (For Brutal Honesty or Hilarious Compliments, You Never Know)
The app will ask you to enter your Instagram username. Don't worry, it's not creating a fake account or taking over your identity (although, wouldn't a sassy AI running your Instagram be hilarious?). It simply links your NGL profile to your username so people know who they're anonymously spilling the tea on.
Step 3: Claim Your NGL Link (The Key to the Anonymous Question Kingdom)
Once you enter your username, you'll be presented with your very own NGL link! This magical string of characters is what your followers will click to send you those sweet, sweet anonymous messages. Pro Tip: You can find the "copy link" button in the app. Hit that button, and the link is yours to conquer the Instagram story world.
Step 4: Unleash the NGL Link on Your Instagram Story (Prepare for the Fireworks)
Now comes the fun part: sharing the link with your followers. Here's how to unleash the NGL beast on your Instagram story:
- Open Instagram and create a new story. (The usual swipe right situation)
- Spice up your story with a fun background or photo. (This is where your avocado toast skills come in handy... maybe not)
- Tap the sticker button at the top of the screen. (Look for the little smiley face with a starburst around it)
- Search for the "link" sticker. (If you can't find it, swipe through the sticker options or search for it using the magnifying glass)
- Paste your copied NGL link into the URL field. (Remember that magical string of characters you copied earlier? This is its moment to shine!)
- Customize the link text. (Get creative! Here are some ideas: "Ask me anything (anonymously, you cowards)", "Spill the tea, but anonymously please", or "Is my outfit fire? Don't lie to me")
- Resize and position the link sticker wherever you like on your story. (Maybe right next to that picture of your perfectly cooked salmon... because you're THAT versatile)
- Hit that "Post" button and brace yourself for the anonymous avalanche! (Your followers might surprise you with their honesty... or lack thereof)
There you have it! You've successfully added the NGL link to your Instagram story and opened the door to a world of unfiltered feedback (and hopefully some good laughs). Now, sit back, grab some popcorn, and prepare to be entertained (or maybe slightly roasted) by the anonymous opinions of your lovely followers.
Remember, anonymity can be a double-edged sword. Be prepared for anything, and take it all with a grain of salt (or a sprinkle of self-deprecating humor). Happy NGLing!
