Facebook’s AppLinks Lets You Hop App to App, Bypassing Mobile Websites

Clicking links within mobile apps can be a messy situation, as you might go from a streamlined social app to a sloppy webpage not optimized for small devices. Facebook’s AppLinks tool aims to change that, as developers can seamlessly send you from one app to another via a simple HTML code. Announced Wednesday at Facebook’s F8 Developer Conference, AppLinks is a free, open-source code that allows for easy app-to-app linking. For example, if you’re in Facebook’s mobile app and click an ad for Hulu, you can be taken directly to Hulu’s mobile app and not a webpage.
