Abstract
An application on a client device presents a content item to a user with a deep link that includes an application identifier that identifies an additional application on the client device and contains instructions that, when executed by the additional application, present a state of that additional application. When a user selects the deep link in the content item, the client device determines whether the additional application associated with the application identifier is installed on the client device and, if so, launches the additional application and communicates the instructions and a second deep link to the additional application. The second deep link includes an application identifier associated with the application and instructions describing a state of the application when the content item was presented.
