Regular web links, however, can't open apps from TikTok bios. So where is the user sent instead? The website login for the app you're trying to open, whether it's Amazon, Walmart, Target or any app.
What if you could add superpowers to that regular link so it opened your destination app to create a seamless, app-to-app experience that boosts commissions?
That’s exactly what URLgenius app links do! URLgenius puts years of experience behind every app link, all optimized for a variety of use cases.
What Is Advanced App Routing?
Advanced Routing refers to the settings in your URLgenius links. One of those settings relates to the TikTok link-in-bio.
TikTok’s in-app browser can sometimes get in the way when you want your followers to jump from your profile directly into another app like Amazon, Walmart, or another social platform. That’s where URLgenius comes in.
The Advanced App Routing for TikTok bio links is a specialized feature within URLgenius’s deep linking platform. When you turn it on for your app links, it enables advanced app-to-app routing logic. This means your followers can leave TikTok and open the destination app directly to the right screen, bypassing unnecessary website logins or dead ends.
Pro tip: This setting is designed specifically for links placed in your TikTok bio. If you’re running TikTok ads, you should turn this setting off.
How Does It Work?
When a follower taps your app link from your TikTok bio, they’ll see TikTok’s familiar “three dots” menu. From there, they can open the destination app—whether it’s a shopping app, another social platform, or any app you’re promoting—right to the intended screen. TikTok requires an interim page before opening the destination app. Your visitor just clicks the three dots to proceed to open the app.
No friction, no confusion, just a smooth path from discovery to action.
Why Turn On the TikTok Link in Bio Setting?
Turning on this setting delivers several key benefits:
- Higher Conversion Rates: Reduce drop-off by sending followers straight to the right place in the app, not a generic landing page or login screen, which disrupts the consumer journey.
- Seamless User Experience: Eliminate extra steps and keep your audience engaged.
- Optimized for Creators and Brands: Whether you’re sharing affiliate links, promoting your own app, or driving traffic to a partner, this feature helps you achieve your campaign goals.
- Privacy-Safe, No SDK Required: URLgenius never collects or shares personally identifiable information (PII). Our focus is creating the best app-open experience from TikTok and other apps.
