🔒 LINK DESTINATION VISIBILITY IN SOURCE CODE 🔒

We just pushed a critical security update. Here's what you need to know about how Meta platforms are scanning links.

How Meta detects destinations now:

Instagram and Threads aren't just looking at what your landing page displays anymore. They're scanning the HTML source code to see where links actually route users.

If your destination domain appears anywhere in the source code (buttons, redirects, scripts, metadata), Meta can detect it - even if your page looks completely clean visually.

When detected, this can lead to:
- Account flags
- Reduced reach
- Restricted visibility on Explore and Reels
- Additional account review

How to check your current setup:

1. Open your bio link in Chrome on desktop
2. Right click → View Page Source
3. Press Ctrl+F (Windows) or Command+F (Mac)
4. Search for your destination domain

If it appears in the code, Meta can see where your traffic goes.

What changed in GetMySocial:

Link destinations are now completely hidden from source code. Your actual destination URLs don't appear anywhere in the HTML that Meta can scan.

Other improvements:

We completely rewrote the link creation page with tons of quality-of-life improvements. This rebuild sets the foundation for major features coming in the next few weeks.

We recommend: Check your link provider's source code to understand what information is visible to platform scanners.

📢 Deeplink Update for Instagram

Instagram made some changes to how deeplinks behave in Safari. We've already adapted, no action needed on your end if your deeplink is set on a button.

Everything works seamlessly, no middle page, no extra steps, no lost conversions.

If you prefer redirecting on page load without any button click, we recommend using a direct link pointing to your landing page.

Got a lot of links and don't want to go through them all? Just reach out to @getmysocial_support and we'll handle the migration for you.

Four new features, live now.

-Set goals on any chart.

Pick a target : daily clicks, visits from a country, button taps. A dashed line appears on your chart. Cross it and you're notified instantly. No refreshing, no manual checking.

Real-time notifications.

Goal hits. Team invites. Billing. Security. All in one bell, organized by category. Accept invites inline. Mute what you don't need. Everything arrives the second it happens.

Compare with your last period. One toggle overlays your previous period on any chart with a % change badge. Know if you're up or down at a glance.

Pin notes to any date.
Click a day on your chart, write what happened. "Launched campaign." "Changed landing page." "Posted reel." Share with your team or keep it private. No more "why did we spike here?" in the group chat.

Also shipped:
— TikTok Pixel with full event tracking
— Snapchat Pixel with full event tracking
— Improved analytics export formatting
— UTM tracking across the full landing page journey
— Custom profile picture and destination name on direct link redirect pages
— Faster load times across the platform

All live. Open your dashboard and set your first goal.

We’re currently experiencing unusual traffic that may cause intermittent slowdowns.

We’ve identified the issue and are actively working on it.
No data has been affected.

We’ll update you once everything is fully resolved.

✅ All systems fully operational.

Dashboard and links are back to 100%. We want to sincerely apologize for today's disruptions — we know how critical uptime is when every click counts.

Our team has been working non-stop for over 10 hours this Sunday to mitigate the attack, strengthen our infrastructure, and ensure this level of disruption doesn't happen again.

We appreciate your patience and trust. We're not taking it for granted.

📢 Hero Theme — Completely Revamped

We just pushed a full redesign of the Hero theme. If you've seen similar layouts on other platforms, forget what you know. This is a different level.

We've been testing it internally for a few weeks now and the conversion numbers are noticeably better.

It's already live. If you're using Hero, your pages are automatically updated. If you haven't tried it yet, now's a good time.

⚠️ Important Update — META Platforms

Meta's in-app browsers on Instagram, Facebook and Threads now block all methods to open links in the external browser.

To make sure your visitors don't get stuck and you don't lose any clicks, we've automatically disabled deeplinks on all Meta platforms. Your links now redirect directly within the app, no interruption for your visitors.

No action needed on your end. Everything is already handled.

We're actively working on an alternative solution and will keep you posted.

📢 Update — New Option for Meta Deeplink Block

Following this week's Meta update, we've built a new option called Strict Deeplink.

When enabled, visitors coming from Instagram, Facebook or Threads will see a quick prompt after clicking a button, guiding them to open the link in their external browser before continuing to the destination. Meta platforms are auto-detected so it only triggers where needed.

We didn't rush this one out. We spent a few days testing internally with real traffic first. The results are promising but vary depending on your audience, which is why we're making this fully optional.

Turn it on, run it for a couple of days, and let your analytics tell you if it's worth keeping.

You'll find the toggle in your link settings.

📢 Our Approach to the Meta Deeplink Block on iOS

Since Meta blocked Safari deeplinks, some started redirecting iOS users to Chrome as a workaround. We looked at the data and made a different call.

Chrome on iOS represents around 18% of global iOS traffic. On our platform over the last 7 days, it's just 2.3% of total visits.

For the majority of your iOS visitors, opening Chrome means opening a browser they don't use as their default. That's not a fix, that's added friction. And friction kills conversions.

⚠️ But here's the real problem.

Meta didn't block deeplinks by accident. Forcing users into Chrome is actively circumventing their restrictions. This is exactly the kind of behavior that gets your links killed, your pages shadowbanned, and your accounts banned. Permanently. All of that for a workaround that serves 2% of your traffic.

We'd rather protect your accounts and build solutions that last.

🔒 That's why we shipped Strict Deeplink — an optional prompt that guides visitors to open links in their external browser, without assuming which one they use. No policy violation, no risk.

As always, the option is there. Test it and let your numbers decide.

📢 Strict Deeplink just got a major upgrade

Remember the Strict Deeplink prompt we shipped last week? We didn't stop there.

You now have 17 fully designed modal styles to choose from. From clean and minimal to bold and loud, pick the one that matches your page and your brand. Your visitors see a polished prompt that feels like part of your page, not a random popup.

If you're using +18 age verification on your buttons, we now combine the age check directly into the deeplink prompt. One screen instead of two. One less tap between your visitor and your content. Every extra click you remove is a conversion you stop losing.

All of this happens without forcing any external browser. No Chrome redirect, no policy violation. Your links stay fully compliant with Meta, your accounts stay safe, and your visitors get a seamless experience.

We also dropped 5 brand new landing page themes.

Everything is live in your dashboard.

Questions? @getmysocial_support

Oh and one more thing, your visitors can now long-press the button to open directly in Safari. No need to tap the three dots. We show both options so they pick whichever feels fastest. More paths to convert = less drop-off.

Almost forgot, everything is translated in 24 languages. Automatically.

And we're just getting started. More updates coming in the next few days. We're working around the clock to improve your conversions, your tracking, and make your life easier. Stay tuned

📢 Link Monetization is here

You can now make money directly from your links.

💰 Paywalls — Lock any link behind a payment. Your visitor pays before they get redirected. Set your price, control access, monetize your exclusivity.

💰 Tips — Let your visitors tip you directly from your page. No friction, no redirect, just money coming in.
