Getting Facebook links to open in mobile app (if a user has one) - reply

Hi Lucian,

I’m still having issues with getting the Facebook app to open from my websit – caughtreport.com.au

I have a “Follow The Caught Report” option under each post – (example: http://caughtreport.com.au/ants-about-to-turn-your-home-into-caliphate/ and see photo below)
Example

When I click on the Facebook option it opens in the browser, not the Facebook application.

The Twitter and Google+ options open in their respective apps, but I can’t work out why the Facebook one doesn’t. This happens on all plug-ins or areas of the website I try.

I’ve tried looking for a solution, and have tried solutions such as using different links (fb://profile etc) but these don’t work and other solutions require coding for both Android and iOS, which I am a beginner at, and therefore attempting this may cause further problems. My main issues with this is where exactly to place the code.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I think not having the Facebook application open is losing me subscribers as many people are not logged into FB on their browsers.

Cheers,

Shaun

Thanks Lucian,

So the social counter will open the mobile app but the social icons won’t? Is there a way to get the social icons to open in the mobile app?

Thanks again.
