I checked what kind of links are tied to the YouTube app and it’s alle the usual links for YouTube (Youtou.be, Youtube. com, etc;). Yet, I click on a Yt video link and it opens up a browser window. I didn’t change anything, whether in the options of Voyager nor which links should open with which app. Any idea what is going on?

    Do YouTube links from a web browser also open in the browser or open in the YouTube app? Your DefaultApp may changed for YouTube links

      Okay, I can reproduce it on iOS and it is expected behavior.

      In the settings turn on open links in in-app browser. Results is expected as promised - in-app web-view.

      Otherwise if you set “open links in default browser”, it opens with YouTube app after all because of app-url-scheme, you know.

      So, IMHO, all right on iOS.

        Just tried this also on and it works! Not IOS but my Pixel and yet same thing: It was set to in app browser. No idea why. Changed it and it works like before! Thank you!

          Just FYI this will make all links open in browser instead of in-app. If someone makes a Github issue, I can add a feature to open Youtube links in Youtube app, while having other links open in the in-app browser. :)

            Is it really needed to create special handlers for special hosts? Where YouTube is there and Twitter and other services. So, how much special handlers there will be?))

              Okay, seems to I was wrong about special url-handling. I needed for lemmy hosts as minimum. As example, will be great to open links to posts in the same app instead of in-app/os’s browser. So now I’m sure we need it for various urls and I was wrong 😑

                That new problem isn’t about links in post body, but about link in the “link-post”. To reproduce tap to “example” link and then tap to link there - will open in the browser instead of this app.

        to be clear, Open Link With is the name of an android app that allows you to use the “share” feature to open links in your app of choice. You highlight the link, choose “share” and then choose the “Open Link With” app
