Description
Problem:
- You open a link to a site in the Telergam iOS client in the in-app browser mode
- The page you are viewing has a link for telegrams, for example tg://msg_url?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgoogle.com%2F
- By clicking on this link by the user, visually, nothing happens
- But Telegram receives this command and opens the forwarding window under the in-app browser, but the user does not see this.
- Moreover, user may clicks multiple times on the link because the user receives no response from the first click (the forwarding windows opens under the in-app browser, user cannot see them), and when the user closes the in-app browser using the "Don" button, he will find lots of forwarding dialogs and he will have to close them, which is inconvenient and annoying.
Possible Solution:
Upon receipt of the internal command, Telegram should close the in-app browser.
