# Deep Links

## What are Deep Links?

Deep Links let you link directly to specific content inside your app - just like linking to a page on a website. When a user taps a deep link, your app opens and navigates them to the right place automatically, whether that's a product page, a user profile, or a specific section of your app.

{% hint style="info" %}
Deep Links is the umbrella term used throughout this documentation. On iOS, this technology is officially called **Universal Links**. On Android, it is called **App Links**. Both work the same way from a user perspective.

Prerequisites

{% hint style="success" %}
This feature requires the **Unlimited** or **Lifetime** plan. [See all plans](https://docs.buildnatively.com/~/changes/532/getting-started/subscription-plans)
{% endhint %}

## Supported methods

**Universal Links** - the recommended approach. Uses Apple's Universal Links on iOS and Android App Links on Android to associate your website domain directly with your app. No third-party service required.
