Yup, Android will recognize YouTube links and open them in the app, same for play store links, and reddit links. I'm sure there are others that I haven't encountered yet. As far as I'm concerned, the author's issue has already been solved.
- Sophistifunk 12y agoiOS does the same thing, at least for YouTube. It's why I keep uninstalling the app, as I hate the UI and most of the time I just want to stay in the browser.

I know that's consistent with the half-assed way iOS (and honestly, Android) implements many things in the OS, but it's still pretty bizarre that they'd offer URL handling but no way to choose which app to use once or permanently.
- pjc50 12y agoYou can unbind most of the intents, but I've not worked out a reliable way to stop youtube bouncing me to the app from the browser.
- Apofis 12y agoAndroid actually lets you choose the app to handle the link though, which is nice. I'm sure iOS will catch up in this regard at some point.
