I recently updated my iPhone 13 pro max to iOS 15.4 . Prior to updating to iOS 15.4, when I used sites like linktree and other sites (including a website for link sharing that im building) that have 3rd party app links to users profiles, I would click on the link (like snapchat or instagram for example) provided by the persons page, and it would directly open the app associated with the link (provided said app was downloaded on my phone) and directly go to that users profile. I know this is done through universal linking. However, ever since I updated my phone, when I now click the same links, it takes me to the browser version of the page first, then a pop-up notification asks me: "Open this page in "*****?" once I click open, it then opens the app. The odd thing is that I have a second iPhone that is also running iOS 15.4 and I am not having this issue. On that device, when I click on the snapchat, TikTok, Instagram, WhatsApp, etc.. links, it directly opens the associated app with no prompt. I also have a profile for all my links and I dont want people to encounter this issue when opening my links. Does anyone know if this is an issue with either safari, iOS 15.4, or my phone/browser settings? is there a better way I can set my links up as deep links/universal links on the backend of my hosting website for user profiles on my site for people to post their profile link on different app platforms so that when a user clicks on it, it directly opens in the app?
Universal Links not working properly
Having the same issue: Links from Calendar containing phone numbers don't open the phone app when clicked, or even when long-hold and selecting "Call +1 (800) 555-5555".
Also in apps like the Southwest App, load a boarding pass, and then click the "Add to Wallet" button - that doesn't work either.
Iphone 10, iOS 15.4.
