In the latest app, Version 101.0.0.18.70, it is called "Links open externally" and has been called this for some time. So you're telling me it's a BS setting? How do links force to open directly in Facebook? Even for a particular facebook page only some of the links open that way. Can I...

I have my Facebook app setting configured to "Open Links Externally". It only works on ~75% of the articles I click. Can anybody tell me why?

The setting does not work. I have it set to open links externally, but ~25% of articles still open within the app. [on Android 6.x, all apps updated as of 11/2016]

Even worse - if you have since hit the power button and walked away from the phone before sally texts you, the notification will beep/vibrate momentarily and then the notification will disappear and you might miss sally's SMS for many hours (especially if you turn your phone back on and continue...

Hello. I'm not sure when the silent messages arrive because I don't get the notification. The app is called "Messages". The version is v5.0.582145 I believe the author is Google because it is the stock SMS app that comes with Android. If I exit the app completely, then I believe the next SMS...

I don't know if the problem is the O.S. or the stock SMS app (Messages v5.0.582145). But here's the problem: Most of the time I have a notification icon when I have unread SMS. But sometimes I don't get the notification. The issue seems to occur when I am in one SMS thread and a message...
