If you are a Chat app developer and your app supports a [custom URL scheme](https://www.hackingwithswift.com/example-code/system/how-to-make-your-app-open-with-a-custom-url-scheme?t) to open the app (e.g. `apollo://` or `bolt://`, send me a DM on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/ronaldmannak) and I'll add your app in the next release.
