Hi to all,

When I copy the deep links to a section on my app and I paste it in the browser all is good. If i paste it on notes all is good. But if i paste it on a chat like Whatsapp or Kazaila then only the first part is a link hence the deep link does not work:

That’s weird, I’m not sure if the length of the “path” is too long for WhatsAp//Kazaila to consider it a valid “path”.

I don’t expect a “fix” for this from Glide, I would advise trying a URL shortening service to help with this.

It’s not that it’s too long since other times it works! Very strange
