Update: If anyone is still looking for a fix, changing the pointer-events css property for hyperlinks fixes the issue. I am using following styles to have the hyperlinks working properly: a { pointer-events: initial; }

Hi everyone,

Good news! This issue was resolved in iOS 15.1. As of that version, I can no longer reproduce the issue. I recommend updating to iOS 15.1 to receive this fix.

I am going to close this issue. Thanks!
