Clicky links not working on app

I'm using the app on Android and am finding if someone posts a link to something I can't click on it. It's just the same font as everything else and I can't even hold it to copy and paste it.

It is the same for me, using a Samsung. Really annoying and it makes Style and Beauty posts pointless as you can't see recommendations.

I'm having exactly the same problem when using the app on my android phone. It's so annoying.
Links still work ok when using the app on my iPad though.

I'm on Samsung and if I hard press the link for a few seconds, it then highlights it and brings up an option to open it. Hope that works for you.

I'm having the same problem on Samsung. Pressing down on the link does not work for me.

This works for me. This is a work around. You are not selecting a link but rather pretending to copy text. At that point android Samsung pick up that it is a link
