Instagram has published url schemes for iOS deep linking, but they haven't created documentation for Android.
Is there a way to deep link into the instagram app on Android to go to particular places in the Instagram app, such as specific posts in Instagram
From a technical perspective, this should have been included in Instagram's Android app and documentation many years ago, but I am not aware of it
There may be some hack way to achieve the same result that people have figured out, so any insight is appreciated.
My instagram app does not have comment access granted from Instagram, and has been denied this particular functionality so sending a comment via API is not an option and I would prefer the user opened the instagram app.

Android support on the Google Play store: Google gives app developers the option of passing the original deep link through the Google Play App Store using the Intent: "The deep link should take users directly to the content, without any prompts, interstitial pages, or logins.
Using a Deep Link to Instagram, users can reach Instagram pages bypassing the home page and the login page, arriving exactly on the page or profile you want to advertise. The Deep Link to Instagram can be placed in any place: within a newsletter email, within an SMS. within a Whatsapp message.
To use the tool, log in to your Adjust dashboard and open the Menu, where you'll see the 'Deeplink Generator' as an option. Click to open, and you'll find a page to input the information required to create your deep link. Then simply copy and paste into whichever campaign you've set up.
When a user click an URL, it might open a dialog which asks the user to select one of multiple apps handling the given URL. On the other hand, An Android App Link is a deep link based on your website URL that has been verified to belong to your website. When user clicks that URL, it opens your app.
Instagram has registered urls on Android. When you try opening an instagram link it will prompt the user and ask them what app they want to use to handle the url. Choices will probably include various browsers, and the instagram app. When the user selects "always" and picks instagram to handle the url, it will use instagram as the default handler for instagram.com urls from then on.
Basically, you don't need to worry about it. It just works.
