Since iOS 13, you could open any app on your iPhone from a custom workflow in the Shortcuts app using the “Open App” script—something that should have been in Shortcuts from the start. Third-party app developers can go beyond that by offering custom actions for their apps in Shortcuts, though not every app has jumped on board—but deep links can fill the void.
If you like the old-school way to open apps from custom shortcuts, by all means, use the URL schemes listed below for popular third-party apps to do so.
Probably more helpful in the list below would be the deep links; URLs with schemes and path, parameter, anchor, query, and fragment components that perform actions or take you to specific spots in the app. It’s great for building custom shortcuts but probably even better if you want to link to other apps from your own app.
The schemes below with nothing after the **://** are just schemes to open the apps up one way or another, while those with syntax information after the : or **://** perform “deep link” specific actions within the apps.
In the list, you’ll notice that some schemes have the **://** characters in them, while others just use **:** without the **//** symbols. You can easily remove or add the // symbols for each one and they should still work.
Also, anything with a # symbol in the path means it’s just highlighting or taking you to where the item is listed, not actually taking you into that specific submenu. If you see &path or / in the URL after the main menu item, those should take you into the specified submenu directly.
Finally, anything below that starts with fb*:// are Facebook deep links that should work whether or not you have Facebook installed on your device. Since they don’t always work as expected, I’ve only included them in the list below if they had no other URL scheme name. Otherwise, fb*:// schemes are omitted.
Keep in mind that developers may change the URL scheme names, path, parameters, anchors, queries, and/or fragments for their apps and services at any time. Also, some schemes and URLs you can probably guess just by looking at how some of the other app developers code them in—trial and error!

Again, developers may change the URL scheme names, paths, queries, and fragments for their apps at any time, so keep that in mind.
If you notice anything different now in any of the schemes above, let me know, and I’ll look into it. Even if you notice that one thing works in an old version of an app and not a newer one, that’s helpful information I could use.
Also, if you know the URL scheme name or action to an app not featured above, let me know, and I’ll verify and add it. You can respond to this article directly, add a private note, or contact me on Twitter at @burkinfarct.
A version of this post originally appeared on Gadget Hacks but was moved here so that it’s easier for me to continue updating it. I owe a big THANKS to everyone who had already contributed scheme names and paths while it was hosted there — you know who you are!
