Description of problem : On Android in Chrome, links to iNat don’t open up the iNat app, even if the Default App is set correctly for the website. Is there no way for iNat Chrome links on Android to open the app?

Update: I cleared cache, cleared data, uninstalled, reinstalled, and tried this again.
Still doesn’t work.

Any developers on the Android app out there?

What’s one of the URLs you’re trying to open?

@tiwane Here’s one… basically I want to use this type of link for using the explore function as a saved search (since saved searches aren’t a feature of the site or app).

https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?d1=2023-10-01&nelat=40.159856222986285&nelng=-121.06256172002786&place_id=any&subview=map&swlat=35.857892795990644&swlng=-123.98329839811696&taxon_id=48703

@tiwane Were you able to verify that the above link doesn’t open the app in Android?

Yes, it doesn’t open in the app, but that’s expected. The app will open individual observation pages, but not search pages or taxon pages. So it’s not a bug.

Reopened because @tbessie wanted to respond.
