# SharinPix app link directs to Google Play Store instead of the SharinPix app on Android 12. What should I do?

The recent app verification changes made by Google on the latest Android versions may cause the SharinPix mobile app universal links starting with the following formats to not work as expected:

<mark style="color:$danger;">`https://app.sharinpix.com/native_app/upload?token=...`</mark>

<mark style="color:$danger;">`https://app.sharinpix.com/native_upload?token=...`</mark>

**Kindly note that this has already been resolved in the latest version of the app. Please update from the Google Play Store.**

Other workarounds to resolve this issue are to either:

1. Modify your implementation to use the SharinPix deeplink <mark style="color:$danger;">`sharinpix://upload?token=...`</mark> instead of the SharinPix universal link.
2. Or change the SharinPix app settings on the user's device directly. This approach does not require changes to your current SharinPix implementation. To set up this workaround, follow the steps below:

   * On the user's device, open the **App info** for the SharinPix mobile app:

* Then, tap on **Add link** :

* To finish, select **app.sharinpix.com** and choose **Add** :

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.sharinpix.com/faqs/sharinpix-app-link-directs-to-google-play-store-instead-of-the-sharinpix-app-on-android-12-what-shou.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
