What is a deep link and how does it differ from a regular link?

A deep link is a link that directs not just to a website or app in general, but to a specific internal screen or resource within the app.

Differences from a regular link:

• A regular link leads to the homepage or a general URL.
• A deep link opens specific content within the app, such as a product in a store or a user profile.

Example: the link https://example.com opens the website, while the deep link myapp://product/123 opens the app and directly shows the product with ID 123.

For mobile apps, deep links help improve user experience by reducing the steps needed to reach the desired information.

In testing, it is important to verify that the deep link correctly opens the intended screen and passes the parameters.
