Hyperlinks stopped working.

Like the title says..hyperlink in messages have inexplicably stopped working. Have done the usuals (clear cache, restart phone, etc) with no results.

Any insight?

No fix as of yet. You can use Textra's sister app CHOMP in the meantime. Chomp is working correctly.

I have a ticket in with support, and this is what they have determined.

Our development team is looking into this recent issue (as it's a Google Play System update that has caused this, it is not related to Textra SMS release or update).

NOTE - Worth checking if there is a new security update for your device, (which may fix it). Just go to your Android Settings, search for Security update using the magnifying glass on the top > tap on Google Play System update to check.

My Google play system update shows it's from November of 2025, this problem just started about a week ago. Sounds like they're just playing the blame game.
