Telegram Deep Link Generator — Open Telegram Links in the App
Paste any Telegram link — channels, groups and usernames — and get a link that opens the Telegram app instead of a logged-out browser. Free, no signup.
Why Telegram links open in the browser
Social apps like Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, X and LinkedIn open taps in their own in-app browser. That browser doesn't share the viewer's login, so they land on Telegram logged out — with no saved account, no follow button that works and no one-tap actions.
A plain https link never tells the phone to hand off to the Telegram app. A deep link does: it carries the app's URL scheme and package so the phone can open Telegram directly.

FAQ
How do I make a Telegram link open in the app?
Paste your Telegram link into the generator above to get iOS and Android app links. For click analytics and in-app-browser handling, turn it into a free vayda.link.
What is the Telegram URL scheme?
Telegram uses tg://. Vayda builds links with the template tg://resolve?domain={path_no_slash}.
Why does my Telegram link open in Instagram's browser?
Instagram, TikTok and Facebook open taps in their own in-app browser, which doesn't share the viewer's Telegram login. On Android, a smart link can hand off to the Telegram app. On iPhone, Meta blocks automatic app hand-off for every link tool, so viewers need to tap ••• → Open in external browser.
What happens if the Telegram app isn't installed?
On Android the link falls back to the Telegram web page via browser_fallback_url. On iPhone the link opens the Telegram website or the App Store.
Is the Telegram deep link generator free?
Yes. Generating raw app links is free with no signup. Trackable smart links are free up to 2,000 clicks/month.
