I am currently exploring deeplinking to instagram and found a way to deeplink to a specific profile with an url like this:
instagram://user?username=someusername
What I would like to achieve is just to open the instagram app with the homescreen from the browser. Just leaving out the username or similar approaches do not work.

We have a PWA linked to the Facebook advertisement. The problem is when clicking the advertisement from the FB app, it opens the PWA with FB's internal browser which doesn't support PWA features.
Question: Is there a way to open the PWA from FB post or any workaround for the problem? I have tried with dynamic links, but the link is also open in FB app internal browser.
Unfortunately, there is no way you can control how Facebook app behave. Instead, they allow user to choose whether to open link externally. User can go Settings -> Media & Contacts -> Links open externally to disabled the option.

I'm new to PWA (Progressive Web App) and using Angular. I have configured a service worker module as described in the Angular docs. Everything is working fine. On Android, the user is able to add the app to the home screen and it is working on offline as well. But I'm unable to find the functionality to open the saved web app by triggering an action in the browser.
Let's say https://pwa.com is a domain and I want to open saved app (on the home screen) from another domain like https://example.com or from another route on the same domain like https://pwa.com/openApp by clicking on a button. Is there any possibility to do this?
Looks like this is possible for Android: https://developers.google.com/web/fundamentals/integration/webapks
But doesn't seem like it works for iOS

I'm succesfully using Facebook share method on my webapp like so using the FB JS SDK.
FB.ui({
method: 'share',
href: 'https://myapp.com',
})
However if a user access my webapp using mobile device it requires them to login to facebook through browser even if they have the main facebook app installed on the device. Is it possible to launch share dialog using native facebook app with intent if available and if not fallback to facebook in browser to share.
Facebook has url schemes which have worked in the past on iOS; I don't have a device to test on, but I suspect some of them likely still work.
Similar schemes exist for Android, and just like on iOS, they seem to become disabled and replaced with other tricks / techniques on occasion.
In Javascript, you can check the OS name. I would check for Android or iOS, and then attempt to trigger a url scheme for whichever you find, if either.
in addition to above answer,
chrome 61 onwards you can use share api. This will work same as android intents, with all possible user-installed-native-apps showing in tray, including facebook.
navigator.share({
title,
url,
})
I would like to test different landing pages. However, I am not able to track people that come from FB through the ios & android app. I can only track these people that come from the FB desktop and mobile browser.
Does anyone have a method to see if the user that's visiting your website clicked on your link from the facebook ios & android app so I can then show them a different landing page?
