[MEGATHREAD] How do I turn on "Connect to URL"

[AC Question]

When sent a web address via text message, I cannot connect to it and instead get the message above. However, when I go to 'settings' on my LGG2, there is no option to turn on URL. Can anyone help me to be able to open web pages sent via text?

Re: That's my question. How do i connect to url setting

Welcome to the forums. What phone do you have and which Android version is it running? Usually you can find the option to enable this feature in your messaging app settings, the right steps will vary depending on your device.

By the sentence "that's my question", are you referring to this (locked) thread? https://forums.androidcentral.com/ask-question/825264-how-do-i-turn-url-my-phone.html

We never got responses from folks asking for help with this to really get to the bottom of what's going on so we could provide solid advice on what to do. I would be very interested to see a screenshot of this message (as was asked for in that thread but never received), as well as more info about what phone, version of Android and text app this is happening with.

Please note that screenshots not in English are not much help to me. While I realize this is an International website, the primary language here is English and I am from the US.

Welcome to the forums. What phone do you have? What are you doing when you get this error? Can you post a screenshot? A similar error happens in some LG devices when using the messages app, is that your case?

Open the Messages app, tap Menu>Settings, and look for a Connect to URL option: LG G3: How to Enable Connect to an URL Upon Tapping on URL inside a Message - ITJungles

I have a LG stylest and I got a message in messenger and in order to open it it shows me that statement. I can't snapshot it because it come up for like 3 seconds and it's gone.

Welcome to the forums. Have you already tried the steps posted by B. Diddy above?

 

[slipes]

I can't do that

Yes that is the case

Welcome to Android Central! Can you give more details? Which phone, and which app are you using when you see this message?

I have an LG STYLEST AND I am on messaging texting and if someone responds and says go here to see whatever when I try to open it up it says connect to url.

Re: How do I Connect to url in settings?

What's the exact model name or number? There is no "LG Stylest." There's the Stylo and Stylus series, and each has a few different generations.

Just to be sure -- as instructed in the previously linked article, you've already tried opening your Messaging app, tapping Menu>Settings, and looking for a Connect to URL option there?

Re: How to turn on URL when you don't have that choice in settings

Welcome to Android Central! Where have you looked so far?

Which LG phone do you have? Cricket is the wireless provider, not the name of the phone.

You can try going into phone settings, then tap apps , 3 dots upper right corner tap and see if reset app preferences is there and rest ,

I have a message for a loan place that my phone, Stylo 4, pops up saying to set up URL settings? If this helps? I asked who they are and they haven't answered. Thank you!

Re: How do I Connect to url in settings?

Welcome to Android Central! Are you saying that's what their text message says? Or are you saying that the message includes a link, and when you tap the link, the phone gives you a system message saying something about URL settings?

If you have no business with that loan place, then it's clearly spam. I wouldn't even bother with it and delete the message thread. If possible, block the number as well.

Go to messaging app then Settings then link and send. You'll find it there
