One short link that sends iPhone, Android, and desktop users where each belongs
Point a single Flyn link at three destinations by device: iOS visitors to the App Store, Android visitors to Google Play, and desktop visitors to your website. Set the rules once and every click is sorted at redirect time, so nobody lands on a store they cannot use.

Device targeting is the device and OS view of Flyn smart routing. Instead of guessing which platform someone is on or posting three separate URLs, you attach one short link and let Flyn read each visitor's device at click time. iPhone and iPad users follow your iOS rule, Android users follow your Android rule, and everyone on a laptop or desktop falls through to your default web page. If a destination is one of Flyn's supported apps, it also pairs with deep links, so a mobile click to a platform like YouTube, Instagram, or Spotify can open that app directly instead of a browser tab. Device targeting is a Pro feature (Flyn Pro is $9 per month billed annually, or $12 monthly, with a $249 lifetime deal). If you also need to split traffic by country, that is geo-targeting, which lives in the same smart routing panel that combines both.
How it works
Up and running in minutes
Create your link and open the routing panel
Shorten any URL as usual, then open the routing panel on that link. Your default destination is what desktop and unmatched visitors will see, so set it to your main web page first.
Add an iOS rule and an Android rule
Point iOS at your App Store listing (iPhone and iPad both follow this rule) and Android at your Google Play page. Each platform gets its own URL, so a mobile redirect always lands on a store the visitor can actually install from.
Optionally pair with deep links
If a destination is one of Flyn's 16 supported apps, such as YouTube, Instagram, or Spotify, pair device targeting with deep links so a mobile tap opens that app directly, with an automatic web fallback when the app is not installed.
Share one link everywhere
Save the rules and use the same short link in your bio, on packaging, in email, or under a QR code. Flyn evaluates each click in real time and routes by device, so you never publish a separate iPhone and Android URL again.
Why it matters
What you get
iPhone and Android split automatically
One link reads the visitor's OS and sends iOS to the App Store and Android to Google Play. Nobody on an iPhone gets dropped onto a Play Store page they can do nothing with.
Desktop gets the web, not a dead store link
Laptop and desktop clicks fall through to your default URL, so they see your real website or landing page instead of a mobile app listing that assumes they are on a phone.
Pairs with deep links for supported apps
Deep links are a separate Pro feature that opens a mobile tap directly in one of 16 supported native apps, such as YouTube, Instagram, or Spotify, and falls back to the web when the app is not installed. Layer it on top of your device rules.
One link to print, post, and maintain
Put a single short link on packaging, a poster QR code, or a social bio. Change where iOS or Android points later and every visitor follows the update without you reprinting anything.
Rules that resolve at redirect time
Each click is matched against your device rules the moment it happens, with no loops and no stranded visitors, because the default destination always catches anything your rules do not cover.
See the device split in analytics
Pair device targeting with Flyn Pro analytics to break clicks down by device, OS, browser, and referrer, so you can confirm the mobile redirect is sending people where you expect.

Frequently asked questions
What is device targeting?
It is a Flyn Pro rule that resolves one short link to different destinations based on the visitor's device and OS. You set a URL for iOS, a URL for Android, and a default for desktop, and Flyn picks the right one at click time.
How do I send iPhone and Android users to different links?
Open the routing panel on your link, add an iOS rule pointing at your App Store listing and an Android rule pointing at your Google Play page, then save. iPhone and iPad clicks follow the iOS rule and Android clicks follow the Android rule, all from the same short link.
What happens to desktop visitors or devices I have not set a rule for?
They land on the link's default destination, which is your safety net. Set the default to your main web page so every click resolves somewhere valid even when a visitor is on desktop or a device your rules do not name.
Does device targeting work with deep links?
Yes, they are separate Pro features that pair well. Device targeting decides iOS versus Android versus desktop, while deep links open a mobile tap directly in one of 16 supported apps, such as YouTube, Instagram, or Spotify, when your destination is that platform, with an automatic web fallback if the app is not installed.
How is device targeting different from geo-targeting and smart routing?
Device targeting splits traffic by device and OS. Geo-targeting splits it by country. Smart routing is the umbrella that combines both, so you can layer country rules on top of your iOS, Android, and desktop rules on the same link.
Can I route by browser, OS version, or language?
No. Device targeting routes by device category only: iOS, Android, and desktop. Flyn does not route by exact OS version, by browser, or by language, though your Pro analytics still report browser and OS breakdowns so you can see who is clicking.
