How to Stop Tumblr from Accidentally Opening Safari
Are you tired of Tumblr doing its *best impression* of a browser while you just want to scroll through cute cat memes or check out the latest fan theories? You’re not alone! Many users report the same frustration when links coax them into Safari, leaving them stranded and cursing their phone. But hey, worry not! Follow these cheeky tips to regain control over your Tumblr escapades!
1. Embrace the Power of Defaults
The secret weapon in your arsenal? Set Safari as your default browser. Sounds simple, right? Well, it is! Go to:
- Settings
- Safari
- Default Browser App
Make sure Safari is selected. Then, casually tap any Tumblr link again and watch the magic unfold. 💥
2. Try Private or Regular Browsing
It might sound counterintuitive, but switching from that cozy private browsing mode back to regular browsing can sometimes do the trick. So, go ahead, make the switch, and then try opening those links again. Who knew that toggling privacy settings could give you stellar results?
3. Haptic Touch to the Rescue
When clicking on links, don’t just slap your finger down, hold it like the precious entity it is! Holding down a link brings up a delightful menu—select “Open in Tumblr,” and it might just save you from yet another Safari detour.
4. Clear Cache and Reinstall
In the grand world of tech, a little cache cleaning can work wonders. Head to Settings → Safari → Clear History and Website Data. And if all else fails, uninstall and reinstall the Tumblr app. Sometimes it just needs to refresh that memory of how it’s supposed to behave!
5. Restart Your Device
And let’s be real, the classic “turn it off and on again” has saved countless souls! Restarting your phone is sometimes just the jolting kick in the algorithm that helps improve link opening. Try it.
If you’ve gone through the checklist and still face challenges with links opening in Safari instead of their welcome abode in the Tumblr app, don’t just sit there lamenting your smartphone woes.
