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.

Just tried something and it worked for me! I clicked the link and it opened in Safari, then scrolled up a bit more until a button showed up across from the Tik Tok app logo that was BLUE and said OPEN, and not the pink one that's below it on the web page, and clicked that and it opened the tik tok in Tik Tok. I closed the Safari tab & opened the link in iMessage and it opened it in Tik Tok by default!

Hope this works for y'all too!
