Description
Expected behavior
Tapping 'View on WordPress' in the Tumblr app should open the post in the WordPress app if it's available
Actual behavior
Even with the app installed it opens in a web view
- If I tap the “View on WordPress” link at the bottom of the post content, it opens a Safari window in the app
- If I tap “Open” on the “Made with WordPress” footer, it does what I described above (App Store modal)
Steps to reproduce the behavior
- Launch the native Tumblr app
- Search for zingring's profile
- Locate a post with the 'View on WordPress' link
- Tap the 'View on WordPress' link
Tested on
iPhone 11 Pro, 13.3, WPiOS 14.4
iPad Pro 13.3.1, WPiOS 14.4

Research direction
No file or test is named in the report. Start by reproducing the “View on WordPress” flow on iOS and trace the code path handling that link; done means an installed WordPress app opens the post directly, while the existing web-view behavior remains the fallback.
