4D for iOS: Improved UX (& more) with deep Linking

Automatically translated from English

4D v18 R5 includes a new great feature: Deep linking. That’s cool, but what the heck is it?

Here’s an example:

Have you ever gotten an email from Netflix asking if you want to continue watching a movie that you stopped halfway through? You click the link, but it doesn’t take you to the Netflix home page or launch the application on your phone.

That’s deep linking! It allows users to open a specific view in their app just by clicking on a URL (significantly improving the user experience and increasing user retention and engagement).
