 It's not possible to pass params to the initial screen through the URL. So make sure that your initial route doesn't need any params or specify `initialParams` to pass required params.
 
 In this case, any params in the URL are only passed to the `Profile` screen which matches the path pattern `users/:id`, and the `Feed` screen doesn't receive any params. If you want to have the same params in the `Feed` screen, you can specify a [custom `getStateFromPath` function](navigation-container.md#linkinggetstatefrompath) and copy those params.
