SMS and Email Links are not working on Apple Options

[Dingus]

Hi all.

I've got an issue with my SMS and Email links not working on Apple devices.
Both of these work fine on other devices. Just not Apple.

<div class="sms"><a href="sms:+44001122334455">CLICK HERE TO TEXT ME</a></div>

And

<div class="email"><a href="mailto:myemail@gmail.com">CLICK HERE TO EMAIL ME</a></div>

Both are enclosed in <div class="links"> </div>

Any ideas folks?

I don't know much about Apple but I can say that the mailto: protocol is only supported when you have a email client installed on the local computer. It doesn't work for web mail.

Is this true for several browsers? I googled a little and found a thread on the apple.com forum that I think may have been started by you back in february and there you mention Safari.

SMS links seem to be supported by iOS: https://developer.apple.com/library/archive...s/SMSLinks.html

Could there be some user settings prohibiting them, or third-party app used as the default for SMS?

Both are enclosed in <div class="links"> </div>

Do you mean it works without those DIV elements?

I don't think so.

I was thinking maybe there's some HTML syntax error somewhere, preventing the links from working.
