twitter:app:url:ipad

Learn how to use the twitter:app:url:ipad meta tag to improve your site.

Defines the URL to your iPad app, guiding Twitter to use this URL when your content is shared on its platform and accessed from an iPad device.

Code Examples

<meta name="twitter:app:url:ipad" content="twitter:app:url:ipad:https://apps.apple.com/app/your-app-name/id123456789" />
Directly links to the iPad version of the app in the App Store, ensuring users are taken straight to the app page.
<meta name="twitter:app:url:ipad" content="twitter:app:url:ipad:/invalid/url" />
Uses an invalid URL format, which won’t direct users to the intended iPad app page, leading to a negative user experience.
<meta name="twitter:app:url:ipad" content="twitter:app:url:ipad:https://yourwebsite.com/app" />
Points to a generic website instead of the iPad-specific App Store link, missing the opportunity for a direct app download.

Recommendations

  • Ensure URL is Accessible
    Verify that the URL is live and leads directly to your app’s listing on the App Store. Broken links can harm the user experience and your content’s credibility.
  • Use HTTPS
    For security and performance, make sure the URL is an HTTPS link. This ensures a safe pathway for users navigating to your app.
  • App URL Must Be Specific to the iPad Version
    Ensure that the URL specifically points to the iPad version of your app. Users expect a seamless transition from Twitter to your app suited for their device.
  • Avoid Redirections
    Direct link to your app without unnecessary redirections. Excessive redirects can slow down the process and negatively impact user experience.
