Motorola Phones Start Routing `Amazon` Launches Through Affiliate Redirects

App-drawer launches inserted an affiliate code before opening Amazon; home-screen launches did not. Launcher-level routing can distort attribution and trust, so Android acquisition data needs sanity checks.

[ KEY POINTS ]
  1. The behavior appeared only from the app drawer, not the home-screen icon. Launch path changed tracking, not the app itself.
  2. A browser redirect sat between the launcher tap and Amazon, inserting an affiliate code before handoff. Attribution can be altered outside the app.
  3. OEM launcher behavior becomes a marketing variable. Android funnels should separate install source, launcher path, and deep-link entry when numbers look off.
