Yet another maddening Android 12 issue – 3rd party apps losing defaults and not opening links anymore.įor example, reddit links weren't opening in Reddit is fun until I manually added checkboxes in its defaults settings.Īll of them auto reset to off today. While Android 12 is letting people set these third-party apps as their “defaults,” it’s automatically deleting their preferences after a day or two. Several Android 12 users on Reddit and Twitter have reported this issue, which seems to mainly impact third-party apps like Albatross (a Twitter app) and Rif (a Reddit app). What’s worse, users first encountered this problem when Android 12 was still in beta, yet Google still hasn’t addressed it.

The new Android 12 operating system is deleting some users’ default app settings, causing links that should open the Rif app, for example, to open in the Chrome browser instead.

Here’s a “feature” I really hoped Google wouldn’t steal from Apple.
