What is deep linking?

When you tap on an item in Spotlight, it will open that specific item in the app rather than just opening the app or an URL in your browser. Also, developers can redirect all URLs to the app. When you click on a, e.g., Guardian link in your browser and have the app installed, it can open the article directly within the app.

What is deep linking?

For example, you receive a link, if that site has an App, and you have that App, that link opens in App, or else, opens in Safari.

Previously, it would have to open in Safari, and then load the HTML, and then open the App...

Imgur was updated for deep linking.
