Links opening in safari instead of app

Since I switched to iPhone 14, when I click on a link from Amazon, it opens in Safari instead of opening the app. Is there a way to fix this?

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.

Can I open apps directly from a link, rather than it opening in Safari on my iPhone 14? when i open a link for an app that i have downloaded, instead of opening it directly in the app it opens it on safari. this happens with open.spotify links, or instagram links for example. i am on iPhone 14, iOS version 17.4.1, and this issue happened before the last update too. i tried changing my default navigator to another one, but the issue still persisted.

Hello gilda217,

When it comes to links, the link-maker will need to indicate if the link primarily tries to open in an app or just a website. If this is happening from a particular site, then you'd want to reach out to the site developer to see if they have that option available for you. When it opens in Safari, do you then see an option to open in the app?

Thanks!
