How do I stop the bot/personal app chat from appearing when I click the deep link to navigate to a tab in MS Teams mobile?

VC 25

Hello,

In microsoft teams mobile I will have my bot display a deep link to the app tab. However, in the mobile experience that deep link will navigate to the tab but the bot chat app will also appear. How do I make it stop? No issues with the desktop version.

Hello VC, To ensure that a deep link to an app tab in Microsoft Teams mobile navigates directly to the tab without displaying the bot chat app, you need to use the appropriate deep link format and ensure that the link is correctly constructed.
also,To ensure that the deep link navigates directly to the tab without displaying the bot chat app, make sure:

The deep link is correctly constructed and points to the specific tab.

The link is opened in the Teams mobile app.

The deep link format for navigating to a specific tab in a Microsoft Teams app is as follows:

https://teams.microsoft.com/l/entity/{appId}/{entityId}?webUrl={webUrl}&label={label}

appId: The app ID of your Teams app.

entityId: The ID of the tab you want to navigate to.

webUrl: The URL of the tab content.

label: The label for the tab.

Hello, I tried using this format, but when I click on this link the chat bot will still pop up in ios mobile and the link doesn't navigate to the tab at all in android.

The reference document mentions using shareDeepLink, but it also states it's not supported in mobile.

~~Hello, I tried the above format, but it still gives the same issue of the chatbot popping up after clicking the link. Let me know if you need some clarity what I mean by the chatbot popping up.~~

~~The reference document linked seems to talk about the library function shareDeepLink, however it also states that it is not supported in mobile.~~
