App Store insists on opening links to apps

Every time i click a link, it is taking me to app store instead of the app. So when i click open in the app store, it doesn’t even take me to the link i need it to. Just the home page. I read this has been going on for yrs. im just recently having issues with it and find it very very irritating

Links open apple store instead of the apps Links open apple store instead of app While using safari and click on a link to a website page of an app I have on my phone, a notification appears to either use the app or view via browser. If I choose open the app it opens apple store instead. Even if I click on the app to open it the link doesn’t come up. In the past versions of iOS, the link would immediately open the app. My phone is up to date as well as the apps and i cleared my safari cookies.

Link app redirection problem Ever since I did a software update on my iPhone the links stopped automatically redirecting me to the app I’ve already downloaded. It just opens the website on Safari. And when I click on open the app it just redirects me to the Apple Store. I’ve tried restarting my phone and removing the block pop-ups from the settings. The only thing that worked is when I deleted the app and downloaded it again but I can’t possibly do that for every single app I have. So is there any other solution?

If you want to open an app from your iPhone, the click that app on your Home Screen.

If you click a link, for example this it will open the web App Store.
