Samsung Internet not working with App Links? Are other browsers/devices also incompatible?


In my app when I try to use my app link from Google Chrome it works perfectly, but when I use Samsung Internet I find that the deep links don't work, and the URLs open in the browser instead.

Is there a list of compatible/incompatible internet browsers and/or phones that do not support Android App Links?

Or is there something potentially wrong with my app links implementation?


Solution

  • Unlike iOS that pushes hard to the use of Universal Links, Google doesn't do that and therefore any browser on Android can decide if they want to use App Links or not.

    Most of the browsers usually blocks the use of App Links so there is a need for URI scheme as a fallback to make sure users will get to your app correctly.
