Opens to the “Issues” tab of the Nat Geo magazine in Apple News+, where you can open or download specific issues.
Opens to the “Sports” tab in the News app where you can see live games and stories from your favorite teams. If on iPhone and iPad, you can open links directly to games in the TV app.
Opens into the Saved Stories tab of the News app, where you can quickly access news stories you’ve saved for later – I’ll often save multiple stories as I browse, then visit this tab to read them all one-by-one.
Opens the deep link into Apple News+ for the Emoji game. Here’s how Apple describes it:
