Open facebook iOS app on a specific page

Question

Does someone know how to deep-link into Facebook iOS app?

I googled it and found solutions like:

fb://PAGENAME

fb://page/PAGENAME

fb://profile/PAGENAME

http://www.facebook.com/PAGENAME

...but none of them are working anymore, neither on Facebook iOS 6 app, nor on Facebook iOS 7 app.

The only solution I found is to link to: http://m.facebook.com/PAGENAME. This works by opening Safari, but the experience is pretty bad as the user is not necessarily logged in.

Thanks,

Answer 1

I've found that using the page id with a simple Facebook url, like in the example below:

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString: http://www.facebook.com/PAGEID]];

it will …

1. If Facebook is installed: open the page in the app
2. Else: open the page in Safari

I tested this on iOS 7, can't guarantee it works on older versions.

Try with the page id:
