In this article, we will understand what deep links are, how to use them in your advertising campaigns, in your business, and in general everywhere.

What is a deep link?

Deep link is a special link that leads directly to a mobile application, bypassing internal social browsers. networks.

It so happened that clicking on a link to YouTube (video/channel), Telegram (chat/channel) or Instagram (profile/post) on an ad does not mean that the user will open the desired application, and not the browser version. To date, all social networks use internal browsers to allow users to watch the content they are interested in in an internal browser without leaving their application (Fig. 1).

With the use of deep link technology, the user bypasses the internal browser and immediately goes to the desired page in the YouTube, Instagram, Telegram, etc. application (Fig. 2)
