When I click a link it opens in safari instead of the app and when I click open in app it takes me to the App Store, even though I already have the app downloaded. My iOS is up to date and my apps are all updated.

HI Yasmin2912,
Thanks for getting back to us. Let's have you perform step 4 from this article: If an app on your iPhone or iPad stops responding, closes unexpectedly, or won’t open
Reinstalling the affected apps may help correct the shared links.
If you're still having an issue, we then recommend contacting Apple Support. You can reach them here: Contact Apple Support
Hope this helps. Let us know if you have any questions.
Take care.
Greetings Yasmin2912,
Let's get a little more information to help narrow this down. Please let us know how these links are being shared with you.
Where are these links coming from?
Does this happen to all apps or only some? Which apps are the links for?

Keep us posted.
It mostly happening with Instagram links, either through TikTok or Twitter. Instead of launching the Instagram app it will take me to safari or the App Store.
