Links not clickable in messages

[kyle0k]

Ever since I got the Note 10+ Ive had an issue with website URL's that are sent to me through text message, not being clickable. I don't think it's Note 10+ related but just pertinent to the new Android version.

I think one of the issues is that the links usually have a date in them and the phone just makes the date clickable for calendar event purposes, which breaks up the url. How can I stop this?

Go to the messaging app's settings -- is there an option there to open links in the app or browser, or to turn on URL links?

I have looked at settings in both calendar and messaging. My messaging app does have a an option to display URL previews. But this doesn't help. It just displays previews inside the text. But url's that have a date in them (or a word like 'today') arent'; recognized as URL's anyways and no proview.

Go to phone settings>apps>3 dots upper right corner tap> scroll to app preference and reset it..

.... For what reason? That would just reset all my app preferences, which is definitely very inconvenient to set up all over again.

I know what it does. I don't understand how this fixes my issue. After doing it, I have to go through the hassle of resetting up my settings on all apps.

Resetting your apps how?

Resetting your apps how?

ok maybe I misunderstood. Does this just reset the preferences for what apps open on certain actions?

Can we go back a few steps and clarify something -- are you able to confirm that this is only a problem for links that have some kind of date or day of the week word in them?
