Links take me to the app store rather than the app

IPhone 11 Pro Max running iOS 15.2.1


Ever since the last major iOS version update all links take me to the app store rather than to the app. One link type that poses a major issue is Discord.


Does anyone else have this issue?

Hi, PleaseNoMoreBugs,


Thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities. If we understand, when opening links that used to take you to the app the link is for, you're taken to the App Store instead. We are happy to help!

To get started, we suggest first closing any open apps: and then restarting your iPhone. After that, check for, and install, any available app updates:


Don't hesitate to respond back if the issue persists after that. If you do, please include the following information:


  1. Does this occur with all links in any app, or just with links from a specific app?
  2. Does this occur with links that go to all apps, or just a specific one?
  3. When you're taken to the App Store, does it bring you to the appropriate app, or just the main store front?


Best!
