Hello! Safari is the default browser on my iPhone 14. When I click on links in mail in Apple Mail, it opens the wrong URL in Safari. How can I fix this?

Tap and hold the link, and select Copy. Then, paste it into a human-readable text field so that you can determine if the link is correct.

I discovered this problem with URLs in my email signature. The URL appears correct, but clicking on it while the little dropdown arrow is present opens the wrong URL. Long-pressing the link opens the correct URL.


I don't think this problem is unique to Apple Mail because it happens with emails that both originate from and are read in Outlook (running the local 365 client on a Mac). The problem does not occur for me when the signature is viewed on non-Apple devices. I think it is a problem with Safari and how it interprets and processes potential hyperlinks, but I need to test it more when I have time.
