Choosing default apps for services like email or navigation helps make your gadget feel personalized — it's always been one of Android's greatest strengths. For its next major update, Google is looking to help streamline the experience of opening direct links. It might seem like a small change on the surface, but the latest modification to web linking in Android 12 DP3 could go a long way in making the OS feel a lot faster.
In theory, these new verified links should speed up the experience of getting from the web to an application on your phone. Instead of being prompted by Gmail or Twitter to set defaults, Android automatically recognizes which app correlates to your URL, bypassing the dialog box altogether. For most users, this should get you to your content faster, without any interruptions.
