Bitly

Bitly is the official Android client for accessing the short link building service of the same name. The application can be used for publishing on social networks or other platforms.

Working with the service

The service allows you to shorten a long link to a certain file by creating a unique address with a length of literally a few characters. This function is actively used when limiting the length of a message to be sent. Such limits are provided on many platforms, for example, Instagram or X (formerly Twitter). The algorithm is quite simple. In the main window you need to click the "Add" button and insert the original link into the form that appears. The system will automatically generate a shorter version, displaying the new link below. Next to it will be a button that immediately copies the URL to the buffer.

Statistics

In addition to shortening long links, it is possible to track clicks on them. This allows you to analyze the level of popularity of various content that is distributed with the help of this service. A separate tab displays a list of the ten most popular links at the moment. Clicking on any entry opens detailed statistics with a visual graph of transitions. It is possible to track the dynamics of the level of popularity. With a large number of links it is recommended to use filters. To do this, just select the necessary criteria in the main menu to get a selection.
