My emoji link won’t open in an app

Emoji links like 👻❤.ws/🔥 work in every modern browser. But a few apps and websites don't recognize emoji in a web address, so they don't make it tappable, or they cut it off.

Use your backup link

1. 1In the editor, press Share in the top bar.
2. 2Copy the Backup link. It's the same address written in plain letters, like xn--qeiw158m.ws/%F0%9F%94%A5.
3. 3Paste that into the app that has trouble.

It opens exactly the same page.

Other things to check

• Is the page published? An unpublished page says it's up for grabs.
• Did you paste the whole link, including the domain? 👻❤.ws/ and inmy.bio/ are different addresses.
• For a paid emoji link: is it active? Check Billing → Emoji links. A link waiting for Pay to activate doesn't work yet.
