Twitter links won't open in app

After updating to iOS 13.1 I lost the ability to open links to tweets in the native twitter app.

So far I've tried the following, in a variety of different orders:

cleared cache in safari

deleted twitter

reinstalled twitter(from app store, via download links, etc)

restarted phone

I've even attempted to take a link, put it in notes, and hard press to get the "open" option...this always just shows safari as the only option. It's as if the phone doesn't recognize the app is installed, thought it never prompts to open with or install the app in safari.

Hoping someone else has experienced this and has a solution.

I appreciate you taking the time to respond to me. I definitely understand it's not an apple product. I have already exhausted the depth of that document and scoured the internet for possible fixes. It works fine on my 3 other iOS devices, but on my phone I can't get the links to open in the app. They are all on the same patch level. There's plenty of references of other people having this issue in the past, however the "fixes" then aren't possible in the new OS.

Same issue here, this is very annoying, does not open automatically & they don’t provide the option to open it in the app manually, for me this is a deal breaker

I'm having this issue as well and it's driving me insane. It's not only happening for Twitter, but Instagram too.

Not sure what happened but today it’s suddenly working the way it’s supposed to, links now open up in the Twitter app again. Weird

I have an iPhone 10 on iOS 13.1.3 but I have the same Twitter problem unlike what some people are reporting with same phone and OS version. I believe it began with 13.1. Super annoying.
