For the Best Experience, Use Alkai in an External Browser
As of 2024, Facebook has restricted the option to open links in an external browser automatically. Links from Facebook pages or posts will automatically open in Facebook’s in-app browser.
If you prefer to use an external browser for links from pages or posts, you’ll need to do it manually. Here’s how:
Open the Link: Tap the three dots at the top of the page or post.
Select Browser: Choose "Open in external browser" to view the link in your default mobile browser.
Using an external browser might offer better privacy and less tracking compared to Facebook’s in-app browser. 🔒
Follow the steps above to open Alkai from your Facebook app. 😉
