Issue with Safari not opening instagram app

Ever since I updated my phone to IOS 15.0.02, I noticed that whenever I click on the Instagram link on Safari it opens a new tab with the Instagram website rather than opening the app. Has anyone experienced this issue? The older IOS version had no problem.

iPhone 12, iOS 15

Hi there Paul,


We'd like to help get Safari and Instagram working as intended.


You mentioned this began to occur right after installing iOS 15.0.2, but are other apps having the same issue?


Any steps tried so far? Here are a few examples: restarting your iPhone, checking for any app updates, reaching out to Instagram support, etc.


Take care!
