Open in New Tab not Working

Notice in screen shot, the Element Event is a Click Event. Notice in screen shot the documentation from Bubble that opening in a new tab only works if the workflow triggers from a click…which this does.

This is not working on my iphone using browser. In firefox on desktop I needed to express a change in preference. In google chrome on desktop still works fine.

I have never experienced this issue before. Anybody else experiencing this?

yeah this happens if the browser blocks popups

I feel like it’s new as I don’t recall ever experiencing it on my mobile device before but my memory is fuzzy.

AI explained it as Your Bubble workflow technically triggers a JavaScript-initiated new tab, which mobile browsers often interpret as unwanted pop-ups. To ensure consistent behavior, it’s best practice to:
• Use Bubble’s “Link” element (styled to match your design).
• Clearly instruct users to enable pop-ups if necessary.

This behavior isn’t considered a Bubble-specific bug, but rather a browser-imposed security feature.
