How to Fix TikTok Links Opening in Safari Instead of the TikTok App?

If TikTok links sent to you (like through iMessage) are opening in Safari instead of the TikTok app, here is a quick fix to ensure they open directly in the app:

Steps to Fix TikTok Links Opening in Safari:

1. Copy the TikTok link from the source (e.g., iMessage).

2. Open the Notes app and create a new note.

3. Paste the TikTok link into the note.

4. Long press or force press on the link in the note.

5. A menu will pop up with options like “Open with Safari” and “Open with TikTok.”

6. Select “Open with TikTok.”

After completing these steps, TikTok links should open in the TikTok app by default moving forward.

This solution works on iPhones and is a quick way to fix the issue of links defaulting to Safari instead of the app.
