đź’ˇ Instagram links not opening in the app from Custom WebView

“Hello everyone. I need some help. I’m using a Custom WebView. On my website, there are many links to Instagram profiles. I’d like those links to open directly in the Instagram app when clicked. Can anyone help me? Because right now, this doesn’t happen.”

Hi dear,
have you enabled Deep Links?

yes..


I think this could be a good starting point.

You could do it this way, but I’m sure there’s an easier method.

Edit: I’ll study it a bit and update you, because with other links it redirects correctly, only Instagram causes problems.

"Thank you in the meantime for your support. I tried it but it doesn’t work… anyway, thank you."

Until we solve this, I won’t leave you :grin:.
Could you kindly try this AIA?

It opens the WebViewer on a Google document that contains a link to Instagram.

It works. So the problem is on my website — I created a plugin in WordPress, and every link is being replaced with the Instagram logo image, so it’s probably not being recognized.

Good :partying_face:,
do the links on your site work in the phone’s built-in browser?

Yes..
