A question from our readers
When you tap the price for a country and the idealo app is installed on your smartphone, the app asks every time to switch country. Can this be set up so it only opens the website in the browser, and not the app?
Yes, you can:
- Android: Settings → Apps → idealo → Open by default → turn off “Open supported links”.
- iOS: press and hold the link → “Open in Safari”. Or, in the app, tap the idealo link at the top right to go to Safari. iOS usually remembers that choice for the site.
