Device-Specific Links
Route mobile users to app stores, desktop users to web apps, tablets to optimized experiences.
When to Use Device-Specific Links
The same CTA button shouldn't always go to the same place. Mobile users clicking "Get Started" might need the iOS App Store; Android users need Google Play; desktop users need the web app. Device-specific links make one button do the right thing everywhere.
- ✓ You have both mobile apps and a web app
- ✓ You want mobile users to download your app
- ✓ Different devices have different optimal conversion paths
- ✓ You need tel: links on mobile but forms on desktop
