Links in Circles

[dfullmer]

Previously, I've been able to put a link in a circle (something starting with https://) and then the users can just touch link and they were taken there. For some reason, links are now not working in the circles. When a link is posted, it's just text that does nothing when you touch it. Is there some other way to post links to a circle that I'm not aware of or is the posting of touchable links no longer allowed?

Seems to be a problem specific to iPhone. The links still work on Android.

I agree that URLs should automatically be tappable links. I'd recommend using the in-app feedback form to report it as a bug.

Nice. You can also use the Feedback link at the bottom of the Church website.

Same issue here—iOS user, and I can’t open links. Might be a safety thing, but it’s a bit limiting since I prefer using Circles for ward messaging over a third-party app.

Hopefully you also added this via the Church's Feedback link. The more members ask for something like this, the better the chances it will be prioritized amongst all the other improvements and bug fixes the support team is handling.
