android-app://org.telegram.messenger
Telegram app on Android
What it is
org.telegram.messenger is the Android package name of the Telegram app. The android-app:// scheme is how Android identifies a native app as the source of a visit.
Why there's no full URL
Apps aren't web pages, so there's no page URL to pass along. Android lets the app identify itself with an android-app:// URI built from its package name, and that's all the referrer contains.
What traffic it represents
Visits where someone tapped a link inside the Telegram Android app and the app (or the browser tab it opened) reported itself as the referrer.
