Deeplinked

Deeplinked is the past participle of the verb deeplink. In common usage, deeplinked describes content or links that point to a specific page or state within an app or website, rather than the home page.

Deep linking enables direct navigation to a designated screen, resource, or parameter, improving user experience and conversions in marketing, content sharing, and onboarding.

Forms include basic deep links that may open an installed app; deferred deep links that launch the app after installation and then navigate to content; and contextual or smart deep links that carry metadata for personalization.

Technically, deep linking relies on URL schemes or universal/app links. iOS uses Universal Links; Android uses App Links and intent filters. If the app is not installed, standard deep links may fall back to a web page. Deferred deep linking often requires a service to preserve the destination across installs.

In practice, using deeplinked content requires attention to privacy, security, and consent for app launches, as well as reliable fallbacks and robust attribution for analytics.
