Telegram deep links
How to open a Telegram link in the app
- Copy the public Telegram link you want to share.
- Paste it into the generator above and select Create App Link.
- Copy the generated Open-in-App URL and share it in your bio, message, QR code, website or campaign.
- On a supported mobile device, the link attempts the native app first and keeps the original URL as a fallback.

Why Telegram links may open in a browser
Telegram supports its own tg:// scheme for many destinations. Public usernames are straightforward; invitation links and special routes may still depend on Telegram’s own web-to-app handling.
Important: A web page cannot override every browser or operating-system security rule. App installation, device settings, browser behavior and the destination service ultimately determine whether a native app opens.
Tips for reliable Telegram app links
- Public username links work best with direct t.me URLs.
- Invite and private links still require valid access.
- Never publish private invite links on a public SEO page.
App opener vs normal link
A normal HTTPS link is universally compatible but may stay in a browser. An app opener adds a native-app attempt before the web fallback. This is useful when the best experience—playback, navigation, messaging, saved content or logged-in state—lives inside the installed app.
