The TikTok link trap?

OpenUp is a deeplink generator that converts any URL into a smart link that opens directly inside the native YouTube, Spotify, Amazon, Apple Music, Instagram or TikTok app and bypasses the Instagram, TikTok and Facebook in-app browsers by redirecting to Safari or Chrome.

The TikTok link trap?

TikTok opens links inside its own in-app browser, which strips saved logins, autofill, Apple Pay and analytics. To open a TikTok link in your real browser manually: tap the three dots (top-right) and choose "Open in Browser." But your followers won't do that so OpenUp shows them a clean instruction page that walks them out of TikTok in one tap, recovering the conversions you'd otherwise lose. Free plan available.
