Is there a deep link that will open a page in Safari from another app?

I have tried

safari://https://www.google.com

safari://www.google.com

but it doesn't work. I get the pop-up asking if I want to leave the current app, but Safari doesn't open.

This is the equivalent for Chrome, which works:

googlechrome://www.google.com

    That's just going to open that page in the current app browser. I need to open Safari. Commented Aug 19, 2018 at 13:02
  • Are you doing this from a web app or a native app? If you are using a web view in a native app, which component are you using? Commented Aug 19, 2018 at 13:16

    This would be from the website. If someone views a certain page in the Facebook/Messenger browser then I'd want them to have the option of opening a page in Safari. From what I'm seeing, there doesn't seem to be a deep link URL for Safari like for Chrome and many other apps. Commented Aug 21, 2018 at 20:25
