How google map short link opens directly on Google Maps?

These challenges are repeated for me when I copy links from Google Maps and share them on other platforms, Social medias and messengers.

when I replace it with the long link it resolves but the short link has many difficulties in sharing.

It says Invalid Dynamic Link on the Firebase error.
Is there any solution for it?

Hi @Eajazi

Firebase is a separate service.

But the problem could be that links to photos and reviews only work on Desktop. Such links can not be opened on mobile devices. Links to places do work nicely across all three platforms.

Hi @Eajazi

We already discussed this issue in the community. This is the result of the sanctions on Google Cloud Platform for Iran. So, some “Google Apps” links don’t work on the phone whether they’re related to Maps or other apps. The solution of sanctions is not something Google can afford!

But to open such links, changing the device’s IP will be helpful. If it doesn’t work it means you should change IP to another one!

Although it is not always accessible, the best practice is to use desktop mode on the browser and get a short URL through it, so it is not an App Short URL.
