Hi Trleam Strava and fellow users. 

I recently noticed that when my groups are sharing any links to activities and group ride events, I cann not open them.

This is how it happens

— tap on link in chat. (https://strava.app.link/POST_ID) 

— opens strava app for a moment, with black/white screen. Nothing happens. 

— immediately in next moment I am back on chat or source screen with a Toast error message saying "not a valid strava link". Addding screenshot for reference.

Does anyone else has same issue?

 

As a mobile developer expert all I can say is this a case a poor Deeplink handling. And it seems that, all these links are shared from iPhones while Android links are huge and not shortened.

 

Please fix this Strava! 

LINK Format : https://strava.app.link/POST_IDfigure widget

I have had this issue for months and it is quite frustrating that I cannot open any strava link on my phone.

I just received an advertising email from Strava.  None of their links worked.  They all report "not a valid strava link."

Come on Strava, this has been an issue for months, potentially years. Ridiculous!
