What are all the custom URL schemes supported by the Facebook iPhone app?

Question

Note

These URL's are likely not available.
Facebook has been updated a number of times and did not officially support any of these.

/Note

I am trying to see what information is available about the Facebook app on the iPhone. So far I have found a couple sites containing limited information, and I was able to figure out the Facebook Profile Publish command (unfortunately it keeps the window open after you post - so the person who publishes to Facebook has to push post once and then cancel).

My question is, does anyone have any more info on the commands that can be sent to the Facebook app?

The following information I was able to obtain from http://wiki.akosma.com/IPhone_URL_Schemes

• fb://profile – Open Facebook app to the user’s profile.
• fb://friends – Open Facebook app to the friends list.
• fb://notifications – Open Facebook app to the notifications list (NOTE: there appears to be a bug with this URL. The Notifications page opens. However, it’s not possible to navigate to anywhere else in the Facebook app)
• fb://feed – Open Facebook app to the News Feed.
• fb://events – Open Facebook app to the Events page.
• fb://requests – Open Facebook app to the Requests list.
• fb://notes – Open Facebook app to the Notes page.
• fb://albums – Open Facebook app to Photo Albums list.

These commands only open the corresponding windows. The first useful command I found is

• fb://publish/profile/#ID#?text=#BODY#

this is a combination of the Facebook graph api and some other info I found on other application. Then a little poke and hope.

replace #ID# with the id of the profile you want to post to, then replace #BODY# with the text you want to post to, and the window shows up in facebook app with the text pre populated.

Also you can use me as an id to post to the signed-in user's profile.

If anyone knows any more I am trying to interface with it and would like as much information as possible.

Donndonna

I have tried doing this fb://publish/profile/#me?text=someText on iPad but it just open FB app without any post dialog. Do you know what's wrong with it? – Crushing

I do not. Facebook has been updated a number of times since this posting and much of this may have been changed or removed completely. – Donndonna

You should add that disclaimer to the top of this post. – Averi

April 2013 EDIT : Looks like none of below works anymore with latest versions, facebook app navigation probably has been rewrited. Some reverse engineering to do on latest version...

I guess that might help, that's from v3.4 :

How, or where did you get that information ? I have yet to find more information then what I have listed above.... is there a place this information is put. or a way to get it out of the application itself? – Donndonna

this information comes from the Facebook binary : strings Facebook | grep 'fb://' | sort | uniq. To get more informations would probably involve reversing (assembly) code unless you got a friend working at Facebook – Calchas

do you need your phone rooted to access that ? – Donndonna

Is it just me or do many of these not seem to work anymore? fb://profile/146152962128830 works for my works fanpage, but fb://profile/146152962128830/wall doesn't for example. Nor does addfan, fans etc etc... – Footrace

it is up to facebook weather they respond to these commands or not. I have abandoned the usage of the facebook app entirely. Now I just do my posting through the webpage. – Donndonna

@Rog thanks for editing list, but what Facebook version is it? – Calchas

@VincentG Was wondering if you knew where to get a bit of information about these intents, especially concerning the fb://photo/(album.user.fbid)/(album.aid)/(pid) – Revoke

Just a quick note to say that I tried /publish/profile/me, /albums, /requests and /friends from iOS 6 Safari and FB app version 144493 today and none worked. – Wurth

This info is kind of worthless for many cases. Official information, or misinformation. Because this stuff could change at any point. Trying to open "Facebook page" ATM but nothing works. The best bet for now seems to be linking to m.facebook.com/, so that Safari opens. – Chyack

@VincentGuerci so is it possible with current version to publish anything in this way? Does exist any workaround for example for this kind of action fb://publish/profile/me?text=foo? – Cosmopolitan

Anyone know if these are safe to use? Since they're officially undocumented, I would assume that they are NOT safe and could change at any time. – Laevogyrate

I think this is an incorrect way of doing business. If it's not official, go do something else. Anyway thank for hte urls :-) – Chyack

Just a heads up, none of these work anymore as of Sep. 23rd 2015. Only fb:// with no arguments whatsoever. – Aldredge

what are possible parameters in this fb://app_section/%s/%s – Kush

To open a specific post use the fb://story handler: fb://story?id=IDENTIFIER – Guelph

@toto:your comment save me. – Saltsman

Hey, @VincentGuerci please suggest me a fb URL to share a fb-page or website, I got confused which one will work for that – Tadpole

@NeerajRathod were you able to figure out a solution? I am stuck with the same issue now.. – Syndicalism

@VincentGuerci I am tried for the open Facebook group. can you help me, this is my url. fb://group?id=battlboxmembersonly – Thoma

Answer 2

1. Because the accepted answer is not a CW, I'm adding updates separately.
2. These are taken from Android, but should be the same for iOS.
3. This list has reached the length limitation of a SO post (30k characters), so further updates will be posted in a different medium, specified at a later date.

The above is taken from the class com.facebook.common.fblinks.FBLinks.

Ansermet

Suppose these links will also break as Facebook updates their app? Still think its insane they can't allow native sharing from a webpage to the Facebook app. I mean Whatsapp does it? Which is owned by Facebook?? – Resound

@Resound - We just have to keep maintaining these lists, don't we...? :-) – Ansermet

@Ansermet Fantastic list, thanks. I have a few questions about how you gathered these. Would you have time to respond to a quick email? – Agronomy

@Agronomy - I may or may not have used methods not unlike what is described here... – Ansermet

How can i compose new message with text? fb://messaging/compose/%s - not working (android). I want same behavior as whatsapp's: whatsapp://send?text= – Browder

@AntonKonyushevskiy your question has nothing to do with this answer. In any case it's against the Facebook platform policy. – Ansermet

what are possible parameters here fb://app_section/%s/%s – Kush

@AntonKonyushevskiy did you find a solution to this? this is exactly what I want to use deep linking for as well. – Trite

@Ansermet thank for the list. In some case, with what should we replace the %s ? (like fb://page/%s ) – Grammarian

@Grammarian usually, the numeric ID of things. However, this is largely a matter of trial and error. – Ansermet

@Ansermet thanks, it is strange because in my app, "simple " links work (i.e fb://albums or fb://profile) but impossible to make it append with "id"(fb://page/12345678) although the id is correct. It's killing my day. – Grammarian

fb://recent_feed opens the "most recent" page that lots of people prefer over the home feed – Keitt

Currently, fb://event/%s works on Android but not iOS – Cryptoanalysis

@JustinSato You can't - these are undocumented features that you, as a developer outside fb, are not supposed to use. If this appeared in the official documentation, there was not much point to this entire Q&A, don't you think? – Ansermet

@Ansermet totally agree with you – Transposal

Hi @Dev-iL, is there a latest update for the schemes? Thanks in advance! – Trimeter

@Dave The short answer is "unfortunately no". I tried generating an updated list in the years that followed the last update, but let's just say that the good folks at Meta didn't exactly make it easy. I think it might be possible to use Frida to extract these at runtime, but I never got around to actually doing it. – Ansermet

Answer 3

I had a requirement where the client wanted the Social Share buttons on the website to open Facebook and Messenger native apps only. Messenger share is straightforward and documented.

For Facebook, this is a workaround that I used (Tested on Android).

fb://faceweb/f?href=https%3A%2F%2Fm.facebook.com%2Fsharer.php%3Fu%3Dhttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com


fb://faceweb/f?href={{urlencoded sharer.php url}}

Tchad

May you please share how you did it with Messenger? – Contracted

Can confirm this no longer works anymore, unfortunately. – Pullman

this still works!!! great workarround to open FB native APP via web page and share link!! – Shophar

Just tried and it still works on Android. For messenger I use fb-messenger://share/?link={url} and it works also on Android. – Increment

Answer 4

Facebook doesn't actually guarantee these schemes will continue working. However at the time of writing this, it appears they've reverted back to the accepted answer's format.

For a while, they were matching the Android style scheme, as mentioned in the second answer, but this is no longer true.

Use this scheme with caution, but fully expect that an update to the Facebook app might make your app no longer properly link, but rather just open the home page.
