That is on purpose. They want you to use the app.

I would believe that if they worked on the app. But videos don't load on the app half the time either.

That is on purpose. They want you to use the browser.

I know you're joking but, related: I tried opening a Webex meeting on my phone which told me to download the app. App downloaded, try to open meeting, app opens...and then opens the meeting in Firefox.

I really hate apps that could be a website (hint: most of them).

Yea, that sort of stuff is most likely deliberate... tiktok doesn't work in the browser either
