Force twitter links to open in twitter app

[stevros88]

Basically when I click on a twitter link in the Facebook messenger app, it's started opening in the twitter in app browser instead of the twitter app.

I've cleared all my defaults, cache etc, uninstalled twitter and messenger, gone to the display and sounds menu on twitter and told it not to open links in the in app browser but it's still doing it.

I've even tried doing a full factory reset (did a full backup first) but it's not changed anything. I'm at my wit's end, I can't figure out what else I could possibly do to change it back. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Daniel

Which phone ? Have you tried resetting app preference?

Welcome to Android Central! I moved this from the Android Apps forum to the General Help forum since the former is intended for developers to promote their apps.

Are these FB chat messages, or are you using FB Messenger as your SMS app? If the latter, what happens if you go back to your stock messaging app? Does the same thing happen, or do the links open the Twitter app appropriately?

Samsung Galaxy S10 5G, it started doing it last night. Yes I've tried resetting all of my preferences and defaults.

It started when I was sharing a tweet through Facebook messenger. Normally when you do that you get a screen like the one I've attached where you see a preview of the tweet at the top, but I shared a tweet last night whilst the preview was still loading. From that point on, twitter links in the FB messenger app only open in the twitter browser, and not in the app itself.

The other 2 attachments show that I don't want it to open URLs in the in app browser.

No, Twitter, that's why I said "Tweeted". I went to their Twitter support account (@TwitterSupport) and explained my issue to them, asking for advice. No response as yet. Do they have a support page on Facebook as well?

All is well with the world again. Looks like the issue was with the Messenger app, not Twitter.
