YouTube links from Instagram open in a broken in-app browser — viewers can't subscribe, like, or comment. Kosmc SmartLink intercepts the click and opens the real YouTube app. You keep the subs.
Drag the slider to your Instagram audience size. We'll estimate the YouTube subs that bounce off the in-app browser — and what you'd recover with a SmartLink.
Free preview. We'll show you the SmartLink we'd generate, and animate how it routes from Instagram to the YouTube app.

If your Instagram ads send shoppers into the in-app browser, you lose checkout at the most expensive moment. SmartLink opens every click in a real browser — logged in, autofilled, ready to buy.

Yes — that's the headline feature. Tap a Kosmc SmartLink from Instagram, TikTok, Facebook or Messenger and the YouTube app opens natively. Viewers can subscribe, like, comment and watch full-screen; watch time counts.
When a viewer taps a link inside Instagram (or TikTok / FB / Messenger), the app opens it in its own embedded browser. That browser usually isn't signed into YouTube and silently breaks native actions like subscribing.
Yes. SmartLink routes store links into the device's real browser, where shoppers are usually already logged in and have autofill — typically reducing payment drop-offs from social traffic.
