App suddenly loading mid thread

[Waxlyrically]

Does anyone else have trouble with the app just randomly loading when using the website? It keeps happening to me & means I lose my place in the thread I’m reading. It’s not even restricted to when I load a page - I can just be reading something & it suddenly redirects!

Same!!

Well that sounds annoying.

Sorry you're both having this problem. Are you using the iOs app or the android one?

I’m using IOS. Today I can’t page back either the only option I have at the top of the page is the app. Annoying if I want to read the first page of a thread but then go back to active threads etc. Do you want me to use the app Mumsnet by any chance!

We're really sorry about this, @Waxlyrically and will flag this up to our Tech team so that they can take a look.

Thanks for your patience - it's much appreciated.

Hi @Waxlyrically, this is how universal links is intended to work in the Talk app. It's how other apps work too.

You can stop the app automatically opening by long-pressing the link you want to open, and selecting 'open' in the menu. This should then stop automatically opening the app.

You can revert this change by scrolling to the top of a talk page and selecting 'open' for the Talk app.

Hope it helps!
