What is a SonyLIV deep link?
A SonyLIV deep link is a URL that opens a specific show, movie, or live event inside the SonyLIV mobile app instead of loading sonyliv.com in a web view. When someone taps a normal SonyLIV link inside another app (Instagram, WhatsApp, an email client), it usually opens in that app's built-in browser, where a login wall blocks playback.
U2L's SonyLIV app opener rewrites your link so that, on a phone, it opens straight in the app instead of a browser tab. The result: fewer login walls and viewers who actually start watching.
Behind the scenes the link is a normal short URL, so it works everywhere a link works - in bios, ads, emails, and messages.
