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.
Hi dajhanara,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities. We understand that previously when you were sent a TikTok link via Messages the link would open in the TikTok app; now it seems that when you tap on the link it will open in Safari. We can see why you'd reach out about this; we'd like to help. First, we'd recommend trying a "long press" on the link in Messages, this should open a menu with different options for accessing the link. If given the option, select to open the link in TikTok.
If you don't have the option to do this, try these steps next:
Let us know what you find.
Best Regards.
