Why won't links open on an Android device

If you find that links sent from Cutting Edge by SMS or email cannnot be opened on an Android device, this is probably due to the settings on the device and not an issue that can be fixed from the Cutting Edge side.

  1. Open Settings.
  2. Choose Apps & notifications.
  3. Select Default apps.
  4. Choose Opening links.
  5. Make sure that the app at hand is allowed to open associated links.
