Question

Links are opening in safari instead of opening in the app.

Hello, I have an iPhone XS Max and 12 pro MAX, recently I have updated to iOS 15.02 and since I have installed this new update, I am having some major issues with opening the links that I receive on WhatsApp… before updating to iOS 15.02, all instagram and YouTube links (or any other application’s links) used to open directly in the app. But now it goes to safari, and gives option to “switch to the app” and I do tap on “switch to the app” but instead of taking me to Instagram it takes me to “App Store” . And it is happening with both models…

Please help me how I can I fix it… What Changes I need to make so that I can get links open directly in instagram… ???

iPhone XS Max, iOS 15

Hello nidhisati2311,

Thanks for asking the Apple Support Communities for help with links within WhatsApp.

Since this is occurring within third-party apps, please check for updates to the apps: How to manually update apps on your Apple device - Apple Support

If there are no updates, please contact the app manufacturer. They may need to provide an update to their app to open links correctly with the new iOS version: How to contact an app developer - Apple Support

Cheers.
