We have a requirement to supply the smaller banner.

I can see that, after I install the app, the smart banners for some sites like Amazon are smaller than those for others like Best buy. Is there something specific that amazon is doing to get that smaller banner. Below are the meta tags for both

Amazon

<meta name="apple-itunes-app" content="app-id=297606951, app-argument=com.amazon.mobile.shopping://amazon.com?chgexp=MSHOP&amp;dl_sid=135-6432352-2690956, affiliate-data=ct=iPhone%20Gateway%20Page%20Nav%20Placement%20Banner&amp;pt=17789">

Screenshot Amazon's smaller banner

Best Buy

<meta name="apple-itunes-app" content="app-id=314855255">

Screenshot Best Buy's larger banner

I added the app-argument and iTunes affiliate attributes too, but that doesn't seems to help.

    This is not a UX question, we have a requirement to supply the meta tag for the smaller banner. – Raj Jul 26 '17 at 17:06
  • my apologies, I have retracted the close vote. That being said you can reword the question a little bit to make it clear that you are asking technical information about how to achieve a smaller banner. – bolov Jul 26 '17 at 17:09
  • Done, thanks for looking out :) – Raj Jul 26 '17 at 17:14
  • you need some tags to increase your question visibility: maybe android/ios or the framework you develop your application or the api for getting the banner. I am not familiar with web/app development, but I am sure there must be higher visibility tags that apply to your question. – bolov Jul 26 '17 at 17:18
  • take a look at [other questions tagged smartbanner](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/smartbanner) and see what other tags apply to your question – bolov Jul 26 '17 at 17:21
  • @Raj Did you find out what controls this "small banner"? I got the same question. – Wise Simpson Oct 06 '17 at 14:25
  • not yet, I am awaiting a response too – Raj Oct 06 '17 at 18:28
  • @Raj Did you ever figure this out? – ruohola Apr 11 '21 at 23:32
  • This is super strange indeed. GitHub's metatag (slim banner): ``, Snapchat's (fat banner): ``. – ruohola Apr 11 '21 at 23:36
  • @ruohola That's because they use universal links – Orkhan Alikhanov May 10 '22 at 12:08
  • @OrkhanAlikhanov What is a "universal link"? Can you add that as a complete answer? :) – ruohola May 10 '22 at 15:22
