Ok, so let me say upfront that I'm not a fan and I refuse to install their app. That being said, my husband will send me cute little videos from time to time and I will watch them. Until 2 days ago he could send me a message in Apple Messages and if I clicked on the video it would open in Safari. I had to do some little thing like drag a puzzle piece in place and they would always prompt me to sign up for an account, but I could always skip over that and just hit play and the videos would play fine in my browser. This still works if I am on my Mac or iPad and open one from Messages. My iPhone, however, ?will open the video in Safari, but when I try to play it, it opens the App Store and wants me to install their app. I tried clearing my history and website data on my iPhone and no luck. I figured Safari thinks it's supposed to open these links in the App Store instead of the browser. Tonight I tried opening the link in Firefox instead and it presents me with the Tiktok logo and then a link to download from the App Store. Has Tiktok begun forcing iPhone users to download the app to view videos now? I'm on a iPhone 12 Pro running 17.4.1. This isn't earth-shatteringly important, but it is annoying.?
Thanks for any advice!
