How Deep Linking Works

Introduction

Deep linking allows mobile apps to reach beyond their individual ecosystem so that end-users can search and navigate between certain places within them. Basically, the concept is, using an URL that links to a particular location inside an app instead of launching the app itself. The URI required to trigger the app may be different, depending on the mobile device platform.

How Deep Linking Works

• Your end-users can share the content directly by clicking on the content sharing button (see below screenshot).

• Once clicked on the share button, multiple sharing options appear which allows the end-users to share the content link through any messaging or social media application (see below screenshot).

• Once you select the application, it allows you to share the link (see below screenshot).

The recipient receives the content link on their mobile device. When he/she clicks on the link,

• either he/she can click on the application directly if it is already installed
• or he/she can select the browser to open the link on the website directly (see below screenshot).
