SigningHub has enhanced its mobile user experience by implementing Android App Links and Apple Universal Links. These technologies ensure seamless redirection of users to the SigningHub app, depending on the app version and backend compatibility. With Android App Links and Apple Universal Links, when users interact with a SigningHub link on their mobile device, the system intelligently determines the best way to handle the request. This feature greatly enhances user convenience by reducing friction in accessing SigningHub services and ensuring compatibility across different devices and system versions.
