links not working in emails

When i recieve an email with a link in, i press the link and nothing happens. Also if i press and hold and open nothing happens. this has only been since the ios 7 update. When browsing in the web and trying to buy something it wont let me. im guessing its some kind of security, cant find anything on the settings tho. help would be much appreciated thanks.

iPhone 5, iOS 7.0.2

The problem is now solved! The issue was SETTINGS, GENERAL, RESTRICTIONS! They were enabled, some how this happened over the update. The App Store was also missing off the home screen, the App Store was also enabled! After disabling this the problem was solved I hope this helps you guys! The link above didn't do it for me.


All the best

Hello,


I am facing a weird problem and hitting a wall so far.


We are building a site for client that upon applying for a job or recommending a job sends an email to the the applicant, the one who is recommended and the one the one who recommended respectively.


Now, this email has link to the job that was applied for or recommended. On all andiod devices, clicking the links works fine and asks for open browser permission and takes user to the job page. But, on iPhones, the users are not able to click the link. So using the native mail app that iPhone provides, they get the email but clicking the link does not do anythng for them.


Can someone please share some insights on what might be wrong here? Many thanks for the help in advance.

Seems like what this thread is about is links in an email that link to a website.


What I am concerned about is links in an email that link to an anchor tag lower down in the same email. Used to work but now it doesn't.


I presume Apple, in it's infinite post-jobs wisdom, has decided to disable this feature.


If anybody knows anything different from this, please let me know.
