Ooo, that's pretty neat. I wonder if something similar can be achieved on Android. I usually manually paste it in chrome and copy the redirect, although I also enable desktop view to not get the mobile link.
- joshstrange 5y agoYou might want to look at some basic Android automation tools. I'm pretty sure I've seen some before but I don't know any off the top of my head. It was really simple to write the iOS Shortcut, all I did was: * Accept a URL as input * Expand the URL to the full link * Find the "?" in the new url and snip everything after and including it. Originally I looked for ".html?" but some TikTok links don't have the ".html" anymore so I had to switch to just "?". Tasker for Android [0] might be what you are looking for but I can't be sure. You might want to ask on the subreddit [1] for help or search there for something similar.

- ehsankia 5y agoI didn't realize iOS shortcuts were so powerful, that's awesome. I do believe tasker should be able to do it, thanks!
