TikTok link opens in Safari instead of the app

My friend would send me a TikTok link in iMessage and it would normally open in the app because I have the app. Now I just opens in Safari and I don’t know how to stop it or fix it.

So I just fixed this problem on my iPhone by accident. I copied the TikTok link from iMessage and pasted in the notes app. THEN click and hold on the link and select “Open in TikTok app” from the popup menu. Now all my TikTok links open in the TikTok app by default once again. 😀
