Hyperlinks not clicking in iMessage

Any hyperlink sent to me in text (from anyone) does not open by simply clicking it. I have to hold it down then choose which browser to view it on.

Hi mblack20,


For help with links on your iPhone, test the steps below for selecting a default browser. You can also find the article with the steps here:


"How to change your default web browser or email app 

  1. Go to Settings and scroll down until you find the browser app or the email app.
  2. Tap the app, then tap Default Browser App or Default Mail App.
  3. iPhone showing Default Browser App
  4. Select a web browser or email app to set it as the default. A checkmark appears to confirm it's the default."


If the issue continues, close the Messages app and restart your iPhone to test. Close an app on your iPhone or iPod touch - Apple Support



Cheers.
