Redirect users to different URLs depending on the OS. One short link that redirects users to two different links. One links for iOS users, the second for Android users.

Note: Mobile targeting is available in every price plan.

Note: Apply the feature to create mobile deep links. Add an app package name for the Android link and scheme-based URL for iOS. This helps to forward visitors straight to the appropriate page of a mobile app like Instagram, YouTube and others. Details: https://help.short.io/en/articles/4341647-use-cases-for-mobile-targeting
