I know I've posted about this before. It just never ceases to amaze me. Why is it that when i click a link in my email to show me my Amazon order, the iOS opens Safari and tries to go to Amazon. Instead of just opening the @#$%& Amazon APP that I have on my phone??? Worse still is when I finish playing one game, I click a link to play another game. Does the iOS actually OPEN that other game? No. It opens the app store, where I can then click open and it will open the game that I already have installed on my phone. Drives me crazy.

Just tried that with an Amazon order email on my iPhone; tapped the "View or manage order" button in the email, and it DID launch the Amazon app, NOT Safari.
YMMV.

Heh. Does that make it better or worse?

Isn't that what you're asking it to do? Did I miss something?

Well sure. But I'm not asking it to do it on your phone.

Click-and-hold a link and you will be presented with both options.

I still like my iPhone and will buy another but my Android tablet usually asks what I want to open a link with and will ask "just once" or "always".

I wish iOS would allow users to specify their own default apps, but I'm not holding my breath.
It took 32 years, but the hammer thrower and Big Brother have traded places.
