Description

When a link like this one: https://site.wordpress.com/tag/my-tag is opened in the Jetpack app it goes instead to https://wordpress.com/tag/my-tag/. In a browser, it behaves as expected and opens a site-specific tags page.

The same behavior can be observed in the Jetpack app reader vs browser. If a tag within a post is selected in Jetpack app reader, a global tag search is opened in a Reader. If a tag within a post is selected in a browser, a site-specific tags page is opened.

Expected behavior

Tags should be handled the same way as on the web.

Tested on [device], iOS [version], Jetpack iOS / WordPress iOS [version]
