News: Always-Updated List of iOS App URL Scheme Names

If you've ever customized your app icons or played around with Shortcuts (previously called Workflow), you probably know how important URL scheme names are. Nearly all iOS apps assign themselves one of these names, and you need to know them if you want to add custom icons to your home screen or create a Shortcuts workflow that opens an app on your iPhone up.Finding the URL scheme name, also known as a URI scheme, for a particular app is not easy. First, you have to download the IPA file for the app รข€” a difficult task since the iTunes 12.7 update removed iOS apps from it. When you finally find the IPA, you have to turn it into a ZIP file, show the contents of the app package, then hunt for the specific PLIST file that contains the URL schemes. It's a lot of work. This example shows the URL schemes for VSCO in one of its PLIST files. Right now, the easiest way to download IPA files is to use Apple Configurator 2. After signing in and connecting your iPhone, you can view and update apps that need it. Any apps you update this way will be stored temporarily in an Apple Config folder in the "Group Containers" folder in your user library. But it's still a lot of work and requires that the app you need has an update you can apply.More Info: How to Download IPA Files for the iOS Apps on Your iPhone If all you want to do is create a custom app icon or open the Netflix app from a workflow you're toying with, we'll try to make things as easy as possible for you by listing below all of the URL scheme names for apps that we know of right now. Also, when we come across them, we'll not only include the "open" schemes, but some deep links URL schemes to jump to specific tasks inside an app.While the list below may seem small considering there are over 2 million apps in the App Store, it's a work in progress, and we'll keep adding to it as we discover more URL schemes for popular apps and games on iPhone.Don't Miss: How to Customize iOS App Icons Without Jailbreaking Your iPhone
URL Schemes for Popular iOS Apps & ServicesAny ones below without anything after the :// are just schemes to open the apps up, while ones with information after the :// are for performing "deep link" specific actions within the apps. Also, while all of the below include the :// in them, most can be used with just : instead of with the // symbols.Keep in mind that developers may change the URL schemes for their apps at any time. Apple did for certain iOS services, such as links to specific settings that worked prior to iOS 11. Some URL schemes you can probably even guess since a lot just use their app's name as the scheme name. Trial and error!Also, anything below that starts with fb*:// are Facebook deep links which should work whether or not you have Facebook installed on your device. Since they don't always work as expected, we've only included them in the list below if they had no other URL scheme name. Otherwise, fb*:// schemes are omitted.
