Hello everyone!
When I’m on Android and click to open a link, it simply opens my browser, as it should! On iOS, this behavior doesn’t happen and it opens a tab within the webview itself, preventing the user from returning to the app! Does anyone know how to solve this?
I’m using the native bubble function “Recognize links” from the native text element.
Hi @lukinhapophack! This is a known iOS WebView behavior. On iOS, recognized links inside a WebView tend to open inside the same WebView instead of handing off to Safari, which is why users feel “stuck” and can’t get back to the app.
The usual fix is to disable “Recognize links” and handle links yourself. Use a regular text element or button and trigger “Open external website” in a workflow instead, that reliably opens Safari on iOS and returns the user to the app when they’re done.
Unfortunately there isn’t a native Bubble toggle to force recognized links to open externally on iOS yet, so manual link handling is the safest workaround right now.
