A Mobile App QR Code can do more than just take users to your app store listing. It can also redirect users to a specific page inside your app, creating a smoother and more intuitive user experience.

This works in two ways:

  • If the user already has your app installed
    When they scan the Mobile App QR Code, they are taken directly to a specific in-app page you’ve configured.

  • If the user does not have your app installed
    For Universal Links (iOS) and App Links (Android), the user is automatically redirected to your app’s page on the appropriate app store.
    After installing the app, they can scan the same QR Code again to land on the intended in-app page.

By using deep links, users no longer need to search manually within your app. A strategically created Mobile App QR Code significantly improves the overall user journey and reduces friction.
