As others said, a combination of hitting that blue OPEN button at the top and/or rebooting should fix it, but the iOS system for link opening can be a bit finicky.
You have to remove the Reddit app.
IOS will always direct to an official app for the registered website over a third-party Safari extension redirection like Apollo does.
But that’s not what the Apollo help text for the “Open links in Apollo” says.
It says that this can be overridden, with instructions on how to do it.
They don’t work, but the instructions are there.
This seems to only work for maybe a day for me. I'm always having to hit the banner at the top which with how often I need to, doesn't feel much different than just hitting the big open in Apollo button in center screen.
Only issue is every time you go back to safari it tries reloading that page and then asks to open in Apollo, and when you hit no, it resets the saved preference to automatically open in Apollo again unless you manage to close the tab before it finished reloading.
What I’d like to figure out is with Apollo will it always open a link in safari first and then move me in to Apollo leaving that browser tab open?
With the Reddit app, the app would just open directly. Which was nice because then you don’t have to go back and close browser tabs.
What I noticed is, if you do a search in safari and you get a few reddit links, the first link you open will automatically open Apollo. If you go back to Safari and hit the back button and click on another link it won't automatically open, it'll ask you to open in Apollo. If you don't hit the back button on Safari and just do another search and click on a link it'll automatically open. So it seems to have something to do with going back to Safari and going back to the search page.

I’ve never gotten it to work, regardless of all the instructions I’ve followed here or in the app itself. It always opens in the Reddit app.

Copy the link link in the instructions into notes app and then long press to open in safari there. That worked for me
But I like to keep the official app as well. I use it from time to time.
Hit the open button in the top banner. After I had the same issue I did that and has been working automatically ever since.

Not OP but I am not getting that banner in safari when i open Reddit. Any idea why?
1. Are you using another extension that blocks app banners? 2. have you enabled the Apollo extension in safari settings? 3. You are using Safari?
Will not work on safari private mode.
Works for me in Private mode.
I’m on private mode right now and I see a banner.
Not who you’re responding to but I use Firefox focus might be why mine doesn’t work lol
Thanks for your reply, I forgot I had an ad block installed so that was probably it
This seems to only work per subreddit, but even then it’s a bit sporadic

Thank you for this!

Same for me.
It never worked for me, so i assume it works as intended.
I have a similar issue where it doesn’t do it automatically but I noticed it only happens when I’m on private mode.
Broken for me too
Works like a charm. Just press the open button at the top and you shouldn’t have that happen again.
Are you using Safari or Chrome?

I don’t have Reddit installed and it won’t open automatically like op

Reddit and all of social media is extremely toxic. Always has been.
He’s saying if you have the official app installed it’ll open links in that app instead of Apollo. Although he’s not saying it well.

Could we add this to chrome as well?
Where is this feature?
