Can't PM from website on phone

2 replies

When I try and look at my private messages on the main website on my phone, it moves me straight to the app, which doesn't do PMs.

How do I stop this happening - it's such a nuisance.
I have an Android phone.

Hello @Daiyu these are the instructions for Android:

  1. On your Android smartphone, go to Settings.
  2. Under Settings, go to Apps.
  3. Under apps, go to “Choose default apps”.
  4. Click on “Opening links”.
  5. If you want to turn off the settings for all apps, turn off the toggle next to “Open links in apps”.
  6. To change settings for individual apps, click on the app’s name and turn off “Open supported links”.
  7. Once done, try opening a website now, its app version will no longer pop-up.

We're in the process of rebuilding the Android and iOS apps to have similar features to mobile and desktop. We appreciate it's a hassle in the meantime but please bear with us!
