Instagram landing page for deep linking

Currently, Instagram supports deep linking into iOS apps using Universal Links for Static ads (non-catalog). iOS Universal Links and Android App Links are only supported in campaigns where App is selected as a destination.

If you need to use custom links with deep linking on Instagram in campaigns where App cannot be selected, for example, if you set up an awareness campaign in Meta - as this campaign does not allow App to be selected as a destination, iOS Universal Links and Android App Links are not supported. You can configure Instagram landing. This allows you to use OneLink with Universal Links in Instagram to deep link users for better user experience.

For Dynamic ads, iOS Universal Links, Android App Links, and URI schemes can be used as outlined here.
