TikTok Funnel Template — Break Out of In-App Browser

Written by Bouncy Admin
Updated over 2 months ago

The TikTok Funnel is a specialized template designed to help visitors break out of TikTok's in-app browser so they can access your external links in a full browser.

Why You Need This

TikTok opens bio links in its own in-app browser, which can be restrictive. The TikTok Funnel template detects the visitor's platform and shows them exactly how to open your link in their actual browser.

How It Works

iOS Visitors

See a "Press & Hold" button. When they press and hold it, iOS shows an option to open in Safari (or their default browser).

Android Visitors

See step-by-step instructions:

  1. Tap the three dots in the top right corner

  2. Select "Open in Chrome" or "Open in Browser"

  3. Continue to your destination

Desktop Visitors

Are auto-redirected to your destination — no manual steps needed since desktop browsers don't have in-app browser restrictions.

Editor Layout

The TikTok Funnel editor has a unique sidebar with:

Background Media

Upload a full-screen background image or video (JPG/PNG, MP4/WebM, max 50MB).

Destination Link

Two options:

  • Custom URL — enter any URL directly

  • Existing Deeplink — select from your existing Bouncy deeplinks

Button Text Customization

Toggle between iOS and Android views to customize each:

iOS settings:

  • Emoji — select from 16 emoji options (or "No Emoji")

  • Button Text — main heading (default: "Press & Hold")

  • Instructions/Subtitle — explanatory text (default: "Press and hold this button, then tap 'Open' to continue")

Android settings:

  • Emoji — same emoji options

  • Heading — main title (default: "Follow These Steps")

  • Step 1 — first instruction (default: "Tap the three dots in the top right corner")

  • Step 2 — second instruction (default: "Select 'Open in Chrome' or 'Open in Browser'")

  • Step 3 — third instruction (default: "Continue to your destination")

Social & Advanced Tabs

The TikTok Funnel also includes Social links and the Advanced tab for SEO settings. The Bouncy Behavior section is hidden since TikTok Funnels have their own behavior model.

Font Options

The TikTok Funnel template offers 38 fonts — more than any other template — including Inter, Poppins, Roboto, Playfair Display, Bebas Neue, Dancing Script, Pacifico, and many more.

Tips

  • Place this link in your TikTok bio for maximum effectiveness

  • Use a bold background image or video that matches your brand

  • Keep the instructions text clear and simple

  • Test the "Press & Hold" flow on an actual iOS device before sharing

  • The funnel works by leveraging native browser prompts — it doesn't use any workarounds that might break
