I'm using branch.io for deeplinking in my app and so far everything has been perfect except for our Galaxy S7 edge running the native Samsung Messages app. The new Samsung Messages app now opens links in a webview in the messaging app instead of opening it externally. So since it's opening the link in the messaging app's internal webview instead of chrome or internet app the deeplink is not working.
Has anyone else seen this issue and have come up with a way to fix it?

Select Open deep link URL in a browser option. Click Next. For Android, select Open the deep link in your Android app. Then select your app from the dropdown, in this case the com.
Passing search data via deep linkingDevelopers will need to submit their app and deep linking apps on both iOS and Android to be indexed by Google. Alternatively, developers can use Google's short links to deep link mobile app users if the app is installed and direct others to the webpage.
By using Android Debug Bridge (ADB) shell commands one can test the deep link flow. It is used to verify if the link navigates to the correct section of your app. This command starts the ADB shell with the VIEW action and specifies the deep link URL to be tested.
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.
a Branch colleague of mine just looked into this. He found that links do not redirect properly when utilizing URI based deep linking from the native Samsung SMS app on the S7, however App Links do work and you can enable them in your Branch Dashboard here: https://dashboard.branch.io/settings/link -- documentation: https://dev.branch.io/getting-started/universal-app-links/guide/android/
