Is there a way to prevent one app from automatically opening another app when tapping on links?

On iOS, the system prompts me for permission before an app can open a link in another app. However, on Android, it seems to happen automatically without any confirmation.

Thanks in advance!

i actually have both but i prefer linksheet as the default since the ui is a little nicer and mimics the old android browser chooser.

i typically just use urlcheck for things like shorturls and links that i don't know the source of, since urlcheck also shows up in the list in linksheet so i have the option to use it or another browser/app
