E.g if gmail knows that you have maps or chrome it can deep link you into a particular view instead of opening safari.

At the OS level, Android gives me the option to open links in the corresponding app.

So does iOS, but this is a different feature than what we’re discussing here.

Since Android 11, Google copied the iOS model except Android is a bit more permissive and so you get a bit less privacy out of the box.

Surely there should be a way to enable deep links with a fallback to Safari without needing Gmail to know what apps I’ve got installed
