    Hi, 

    first of all: I LOVE YOUR THEME! :)

    Social Link Share Buttons: Is there a way to create "shareable" social links via the app and not the browser? Ideally if the app is available open the app, if not open the browser, like on desktop for example? In the settings there are only  check boxes to activate the relevant social media platform. I guess fb:// must be used for this to work somehow but maybe I am overlooking a simple solution.

    thanks & regards

    Alvin

    Hi Alvin,

    Thanks for writing to us.

    I am not sure I understood your query, do you have a site with a similar functionality or could you please share a video to demonstrate what you would want to achieve so that we can response with accuracy.

    I look forward to hearing from you.

    open this page: https://winterfest-kaisergarten.de/ scroll down to the social share buttons. If you press the facebook button on mobile the browser opens. I want the facebook app to open. Reason: If the browser opens most of the people are not logged in with the browser. Nearly everyone has an app on their phone. I hope you get what I mean

    Hi Alvin,

    Thanks for writing back.

    This is more of a mobile setting and not a theme setting:

    To open links in their respective app on Android instead of a browser, you can follow these steps:

    1. Go to your Android device's settings.
    2. Scroll down and select "Apps & notifications."
    3. Select "Default apps."
    4. Select "Opening links."
    5. Choose the app that you want to use to open links. Once you have set your preferred app, any links you click on will open in that app instead of a browser.

    I hope you find this helpful.

    Thanks.
