Issue: External links are no longer opening in their respective apps (Android 16)

Since one of the recent updates, Adobe Acrobat Mobile has stopped opening external links using their default applications on Android 16. Instead, every link is forced to open inside Acrobat's internal browser.

This causes problems with many types of links. For example:

• WhatsApp links ("wa.me" or "api.whatsapp.com") no longer open WhatsApp.
• Google Maps links do not open the Google Maps app.
• Other deep links that should launch their respective applications also fail because they are opened inside Acrobat's internal browser.

Previously, these links were correctly passed to the appropriate apps installed on the device. The current behavior breaks many workflows and makes it difficult to use PDFs that contain interactive links.

Please investigate this issue on Android 16 and restore the option to open external links with the system's default applications, or at least provide a setting that allows users to choose between the internal browser and external apps.

Thank you for your attention.
