I am writing to report a bug I have been experiencing with the Substack app on my iPhone 14 Pro, running iOS 26

When I tap on a link icon within the app's display, the screen goes dark, as if a new window or overlay is trying to open, but the link never loads/show.

I have already tried the following troubleshooting steps without success:


• Reinstalling the Substack app.


• Updating the Substack app to the latest version.


• Updating my iPhone's operating system to the latest version.

  • Restart/ Reset my iPhone.

This issue prevents me from opening external links directly from the app. As a temporary workaround, I have been using the Substack website on my phone's browser, where the links work correctly.
