Universal and App Links

Developers who would like to redirect users from their app to the Fitbit mobile app can do so using either Universal Links on iOS or App Links on Android. These are similar to mobile deep links but are more secure and recommended by Apple and Google. Here is a list of the available URLs that you can use in your app.

https://www.fitbit.com/in-app/today Opens the Fitbit mobile app to the Today page. If the app is not installed, the user is directed to Fitbit's website.

There are some things to keep in mind when using our Universal Links or App Links solution.

  • The same URL can be used with Universal Links on iOS or App Links on Android.
  • Your app does not need language-specific links. The app will localize itself using the mobile device's language.
  • If the Fitbit app is not installed on the device, the link will automatically fail or be directed to a help article.
  • The URLs won't open properly when typed directly into the desktop or mobile browser. The best way to test the Universal Links / App Links is send yourself an email with the URL included in the body of the message, then open the email on the mobile device and tap the link.
