My app’s URL: https://clrsta.glideapp.io/ This may not be a bug at all, but I feel like this hasn’t always been the case when linking out to external sites. This app is an aggregate of links out to resources built by educators using different tools (such as Google Forms quizzes, webpages, etc.). In…

This seems to be an issue with IOS as I’ve never had this problem on Android. Have you tried the Web View action instead of Open Link? It’s kind of hit or miss if the website works in web view, but it’s worth a shot.

@SkillBlox_Demo thx for bringing it up again. It is quite a pain. Open as webview has the same bug. Might work the first time but next time it will fail Open link return to front page @mark have you this bug on the radar - and do you have plans to fix it?

@Krivo We do have a handle on why this could be a problem outside of the webview. But this being a problem with “Open as webview” is new for us. Could you please make us a video demonstrating the behavior when you open the links in a Webview instead?

@Krivo That video looks like you aren’t using the Webview action or component, but instead are still using the “Open as link” action. Please take a video explicitly using the Webview action or Webview component. Is this the same device, iPhone 11 Pro running a recent version of iOS?

@Daniel_Sweet seems as I was mistaken. I don’t have a case where webview doesn’t work Can you confirm you have fixed open link action. I cannot provoke the error as described in the bug report

Unfortunately, it’s not simple to “fix” the open link action. What you’re witnessing is iOS trying to conserve resources by restarting your app in the background. We have no control over when it does that. We’re working on better linking mechanisms, so in the future at least you’ll always go back t…

@Daniel_Sweet thx for the clarification. :+1: I couldn’t provoke the error as I mentioned. Maybe because I’m at a place with poor internet. Maybe you could benefit in someway from that. Delay stuff? I don’t think I will be able to use webview as I want to link to Facebook and Instagram. Actually I…

So, webview did not work for two of the three links (Google Forms was one of them and Quizlet was the other). The third one, which was a URL, did open within, but the page was zoomed and would not size down for viewing on a mobile device as it does if I do “Open Link” Shots attached of what happens…

Hey @SkillBlox_Demo , If I understood your problem correctly, Google form works with both webview component and actions. You just have to make sure your using the viewform link. [image] [image] I’m still looking for a way to be able to embed Quizlet, Kahoot, and Gimkit.
