Open Facebook App Instead Of Browser. If at all you have a dedicated fb app on your phone and this link someone shared opens your google chrome on your phone instead of the app, nothing to worry as long as the lin. Open link in app app, as mentioned from this answer, but it seems currently it's not working, possibly due to change in fb protocol). For example, when we visit a facebook web page in edge, chrome, or another browser, then facebook will not open via web browser if the option is turned on, instead it will open a facebook app installed on your windows computer.
This caused the browser to become the active application, and depending on the platform, may have also required the user to perform more than just a single tap to return to the previous app. Facebook recently released a very controversial update.
When you click on a link, it now opens in facebook, instead of your preferred, default browser.
Open the browser's safari menu; In olden times, when mobile apps wanted to show web content, they would open the url in the default browser. That means the users will no longer have to open external links in their default browser, rather the links can be opened in the app itself. Well it is a very common behavior, that you have rightfully identified.
