Open links in their respectable apps?

[Djilkosh]

Is there anything what can I do to open links with app (YouTube, instagram etc) and not in Safari?

I have a lot of texting through viber or WhatsApp and someone shares link from YouTube or instagram, so when I click on that it opens in Safari and not in app.

Why Apple?

Because apple won't let us use default apps since they are stubborn.

In a lot of cases the links do end up opening in their respective apps, but not in all. Might depend on the apps handling links and registering with iOS that they can handle particular links.

Lot of cases? If you have JB then okay, but I just said that YT and Instagram and ofc other apps are not going to open shared links that I recieved on WhatsApp or Viber. So lot of cases in not lot

Well, for example, the YouTube app usually opens for me when I go to a YouTube link, and the Amazon app opens when I follow an Amazon link. Perhaps it depends on the app going are doing it all in and how it handles things, but, again using my examples, doing it from Mail or Safari brings up those associated apps.

Do you use WhatsApp or Viber? Are you on beta or 10.2?

I'm on 10.2 (although it worked like that even before). I rarely use WhatsApp and don't use Viber at all.

Can you try and send something to yourself from instagram (copy some video) through Whatsapp and tap on link. What will open Safari or App? Same with YouTube?
