How do I get my iPhone to open links in browser instead of app?

How do I open links directly in iOS app?

I have a web app which I am developing with html/php on the backend.

I have the web app open in Safari, and when I click a link, it opens that url in Safari.e. How do I make it so when I click a link from the web app (which is running locally on my iPad) it opens that url in my iPad instead? I currently have this bit of code: @IBAction func backButton(sender: AnyObject). First, you have to open a UIWebViewController and set it as an embedded controller in the MainStoryboard. I would suggest to use the following code as a delegate of your webview: class AppDelegate: NSObject, NSApplicationDelegate. }

This works with the standard URL handling. You can also load a page directly into your app, but that means you have to implement your own URL handling. See this answer: If you want to open an http:// or https:// link, you have to use the custom URL handling from the other answer. As a side note: When you have an open link and you press the back button, the link in your webview is not openend, so you have to write a reload function to reload the page in your webview.

How do I get my iPhone to open links in browser instead of app?

You don't, you can't.

The iPhone's web browser is just that, a web browser. It cannot and will not open other applications for you. The only way to open the iPhone's web browser is to click on a link in a web page.

Since you are trying to open a link in an application instead of the web browser, you'll need to send it to the other application.com.

If you want to open a link in another app, then you'll need to build your own URL and then call that URL. For example, you might have an App called "Google" that has a web browser called "GoogleBrowser".

How do I open Twitter links in-app instead of browser?

On Twitter, if you click on a URL that goes to a web page, like this one: then it opens in your browser instead of in-app.

How do I change it so that it opens in-app? I was able to accomplish this by changing my browser's settings to remember all sites and then setting Twitter as a default for when I go to new websites. From Chrome, go to: Settings > Advanced > Settings. Under the "Browsing" section, make sure "Use a custom settings page for history" is set to "When I visit a new website". Then, from your browser, go to Twitter.com and log in. Click on your username at the top right of the screen.

The new Twitter page should open up, but if it doesn't, refresh the page by pressing the F5 key. Now, all the links that point to other websites will open in-app, like they did before.
