- Question
We noticed recently the deeplinks we've added too Instagram stories doesn't work as intended. It opens the in-app browser, attempt to redirects but breaks during the process. the user is stuck in a white screen.
After doing some digging into this, we found out that Instagram in-app browser doesn't seem to support launching intent:// URLs.
This issue isn't happening on iOS, the same deeplinks works perfectly when clikced on iOS Instagram app
Is this a bug or an intentional change from Instagram? How can we fix this?
Thanks!
Having the same issue here, it seems to be a widespread issue at the moment, wondering if it's a feature or a bug; My guess is that it's a feature to allow Meta to keep users in the in-app browser and collect more data about where users are being sent to. Having said that it's a massive problem for anyone running ads with 3 party app integrations.
Found the same to be on Facebook as well. Somehow all the links are not opening apps as they should instead its just stuck inside the in-app browser.
