Fix "Open by Default" & Domain Verification on Android 14 and 15

Starting with Android 12, Google revamped how deep links work. If your music links open in browser tabs instead of apps, this guide explains how domain verification works and how to fix it in 30 seconds.

Understanding Android 12+ Domain Verification

In modern Android versions (Android 13, 14, 15, and 16), operating systems require Digital Asset Links to verify that an app owns a domain. If domain verification fails or is unconfigured, Android defaults to launching Google Chrome or the in-app browser.

How SongFlip Restores Seamless Deep Linking

SongFlip registers verified intent filters for all major music services (Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, Tidal, Deezer, Amazon Music). When properly authorized, it intercepts links before the browser can catch them.

Step-by-Step Fix in Android Settings

  1. Go to Android Settings > Apps > See all apps > SongFlip.
  2. Tap "Open by default" and ensure "Open supported links" is toggled ON.
  3. Tap "Supported web addresses" and check the boxes for all streaming services you wish to intercept.
