Re: Opening a link in a text message on iPhone
If I want to follow a link in a text message, I read the message in the Messages app on the Mac, and activate the link from there. The link then invokes Safari.

RE: Opening a link in a text message on iPhone
Hi Paul, I'm also in the UK and have exactly the same issues with those appointment messages. Using the rotor to navigate by links seems to put focus on the link, but I still can't activate them. I tend to copy the whole message and paste it into the Notes app. Once there, I can edit the text so I can copy the link and paste into Safari.
