When you tap a web link in a chat, a post or anywhere else in Zaplog, it opens in Zaplog's own browser, so you can come straight back.

Opening an app instead

If a link belongs to an app on your phone, such as a video or social app, Zaplog asks Open in that app? Tap Open app to use the app, or Use browser to stay in Zaplog.

Open a page in another browser

In the browser, open the menu and tap Open in another app.

ZapRooms has its own Open links in Zaplog switch, under ZapRooms settings, Text & Media. Turn it off to hand ZapRooms links to your phone's default browser.
