How to Generate Deep Links and QR Codes for Twitter

Deep linking to the Twitter apps for iOS and AndroidSocial media managers are always striving to increase engagement with their social content. When determining where to focus social marketing efforts, it helps to understand what percentage of a target audience has a particular social app installed on their mobile device.

Let’s take Twitter as an example. What percentage of your audience has the Twitter app? How many app opens are you triggering with your tweets throughout the day? What cities are they clicking from? These types of questions are not easily answered with Twitter analytics. App deep linking platforms like URLgenius let you see such insights.

Plus using an app deep link when promoting your Twitter profile in other social networks and channels will help you avoid that Twitter mobile website login which is preventing you from getting more followers.

  1. Generate a Twitter app deep link to open your profile.
