Problem

Why does Instagram open my links in an in-app browser?

Why does Instagram open my links in an in-app browser?

Because Meta keeps users inside the Instagram app on purpose. Every outbound tap renders inside Instagram’s web view, which strips logged-in sessions, breaks Apple Pay and autofill, drops cookies, and stops pixels from firing correctly. The result is cart abandonment, lost subscribes and broken attribution.
