YouTube links sent will not open in Facebook Messenger

[Android Central Question]

YouTube links sent to me will not open. Yes I have ensured open supported links is enabled. Cleared cache. Uninstalled and reinstalled app. When someone shares a YouTube video and I press in it it does nothing. Pixel 6 and Android 12.

I just purchased this pixel 6. Can't figure this out. Any help?

Welcome to Android Central! Did you also try clearing the app data (in addition to the app cache) for FB Messenger, and then Force Stop it?

[Merged you to your original question]

Have you tried toggling the open links in default browser setting in messenger under photos and media? I would try it on and try it off and make sure you have a default browser set.
