Escape in-app browser?

[alexxx1]

Hello everyone. I have built a website which I've attached to my bio on Instagram. What I'd like to achieve is to make it open on my phone's (default) browser, safari or whatever that may be. By default, all bio links open in the app's browser. But I saw it from a few influencers that use getallmylinks.com in their bio and this page doesn't open in the app's browser, but in a new tab on my browser. Is anyone familiar with that? Would appreciate any advice

I’m not familiar with it, but it’s not something I would do, and certainly not something I would pay for.

Users expect a certain consistent behavior. For example, users expect links to look a certain way, buttons to look a certain way, new webpages to open within an app they’re using a certain way.

When experiences differ from those expectations, users get frustrated and confused. What might seem like a good idea to you might end up creating confusion, or a bad first impression, for the end-user.

I understand your point, however this would be useful for my purpose. How can I research more sbout this function? Is it some kind of coding that can trigger this?

Maybe you need to use the target attribute on that link.

rproffitt, alexxx does not have the ability to edit raw HTML within his Instagram bio. Instead, the link has to point to a URL that uses deep linking to redirect the final destination URL to open in Safari. I am not familiar enough with mobile development to know how to do this, but, yes, it does involve writing code.

I also want to point out that it's against Instagram's terms of service. If a mod finds out that you're doing it, your account will be banned. The risk is on you, I suppose.

Sorry about that. When I replied I saw the PHP tag so my thought was you were writing code.
