Link Handling

Link Handling manages how an app opens links when users open them. Links can be opened within the app through an internal browser or externally in the device’s default browser, such as Chrome. Link Handling plays a vital role as it impacts user interaction, security, and improved app performance to assist developers in managing smooth and persistent interaction between the user and the app.

Internal vs External Link Handling

In your app, you have the power to determine how links behave: whether they open within the app itself or redirect users to the device's default web browser. This distinction is crucial for optimizing user experience depending on the nature of the content being accessed.

Deep Linking

Deep Linking serves as a direct route to specific content within your app. Instead of taking users to a web browser, it navigates them straight to the desired destination within your app's interface. This mechanism streamlines user's navigation, eliminating unnecessary steps and enhancing engagement by smoothly integrating external content into the app environment.

URL Scheme Protocol

URL Scheme Protocol enables the creation of custom link formats that exclusively function within your app. These specialized links bypass the web browser and directly opens the designated sections or functionalities within your app. By establishing these unique link protocols, you ensure that certain content or actions are accessible only within the confines of your app, promoting consistency and enhancing user experience.
