Open X (Twitter) links in the app
Paste a X (Twitter) URL and get a link that opens the X (Twitter) app instead of the browser — with a web fallback for everyone else.
Free forever. No login. Works with x.com links.
Which X (Twitter) links work
toThe.App recognises links on x.com, twitter.com. These URL shapes are handled:
- https://x.com/USERNAME
- https://twitter.com/USERNAME
- https://x.com/hashtag/TOPIC
On iPhone
Profile and hashtag URLs open to the matching screen in the app.
On Android
The X app opens when it is installed, and the browser takes over when it is not.
Known limitations
No link can force a phone to open an app. These are the cases where a X (Twitter) link falls back to the web:
- Individual posts fall back to the profile or the web view.
- Logged-out users hit the login wall inside the app.
Questions

Which X (Twitter) URLs are supported?
Links on x.com, twitter.com are recognised. Typical shapes: https://x.com/USERNAME · https://twitter.com/USERNAME · https://x.com/hashtag/TOPIC.
What happens on iPhone?
Profile and hashtag URLs open to the matching screen in the app.
What happens on Android?
The X app opens when it is installed, and the browser takes over when it is not.
Why did the X (Twitter) app not open?
The device makes the final call. Common reasons: the app is not installed, the specific URL type is not covered (Individual posts fall back to the profile or the web view.), or the link was tapped inside another app's in-app browser, which will not hand off to a native app. The web fallback always works.
