Hi, I have some issue with opera touch just installed it to test it and actually like it but still this issue is annoying ! the issue is that when i search for a video on google.com and found the video i search in a youtube link when i clic on it, it open the link and doesn't send me to the Youtube app like other browser do.. Same goes for Reddit link, i have Sync for Reddit installed , Firefox/Chrome open the app when i click on a reddit link but Opera Touch doesn't do that.. It just open the web link on the browser.

Can you fix this ? Or give us the option to enable this like in Firefox mobile browser that allow to stay on the browser or click on a little icon next to the URL bar to go into that specific app ?

This is extremely annoying, to the point where, despite how much I like this browser, I'm about ready to switch.

YouTube app can play videos in the background. People pay for YouTube premium to have that and other features. Please stop hobbling your product and include this basic and ubiquitous feature as an option.

Yes this is useful, Touch should open the relevant apps, or at least offer the options to open relevant apps.

Please work on this feature first. I went full Opera on my desktops by ditching Chrome but on Android this feature is a must. I can't open any YouTube link on it's app and it's a very bad experience to forced to use mobile websites.

Hi Opera team, I am a web developer. Our website provides a link to open our mobile app. We found current Opera Android (April 2021) already provides the feature to open external apps, but it does not work on Opera IOS. Could you please provide the same feature for Opera IOS? Thanks!

Every android app will have list of URLs that it can open. So you have to go to that app settings and tell that it should open in browser for the URLs and not in the app.

To do that go to Settings -> Apps -> scroll down to the app that you don't want URLs to open in -> Tap on 'Open by Default' and select always Ask. So next time you click on a url it won't open in any app directly it will ask you and you choose it to open in Opera.
