These links don't work pasted as-is in a bio: a redirect has to pick the right one for each phone. That is what the smartlink does.
This link will open in the browser. With a smartlink, you still get a short link and the click count.
Supported apps: AliExpress, TikTok, Reddit, X, YouTube, Instagram, WhatsApp, Snapchat, Facebook Messenger, Facebook, Telegram, Spotify, Apple Music, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Twitch, Netflix, Google Sheets, Google Docs, Google Slides, Google Maps, Airbnb, TripAdvisor, Amazon, StockX, Booking.com, Waze.
