How Do I Stop a Website From Opening an App on My iPhone?

Published in Mobile Devices 1 min read

You can prevent websites from automatically opening apps on your iPhone by adjusting your device's settings. Here's how:

1. Disable "Open in App" Links

  • Go to Settings > Safari > Open in App.
  • Turn off the toggle for "Open in App." This will prevent websites from automatically opening apps, forcing them to open in Safari instead.

2. Manage App Links

  • Go to Settings > Safari > App Links.
  • Review the list of apps that are allowed to open links.
  • Tap on an app and choose "Don't Open" to disable it from opening links.

3. Block Specific Websites

  • Open Safari and navigate to the website you want to block.
  • Tap the Share icon (square with an arrow pointing up) and choose "Block This Website."
  • Confirm your choice.

By following these steps, you can effectively control which apps can open links from websites on your iPhone.
