Edge for Android No Longer Opens Google Calendar Links in External App

I'm reporting a regression in Microsoft Edge for Android that has disrupted my workflow on a Samsung Galaxy A9+ tablet running Android 15.0.

Until recently, Edge correctly handed off supported links—such as “Add to Google Calendar” URLs—to the Google Calendar app, in accordance with Android’s intent routing and app defaults. Now, Edge traps these links inside its internal WebView, even when:

- “Open supported links” is enabled for the Google Calendar app
- “Block opening external apps” is disabled in Edge settings
- No site-specific override exists for calendar.google.com

When I tap a calendar link, Edge briefly flashes a system prompt asking whether to open in the external app or stay in Edge—but this prompt immediately disappears, and the calendar loads inside Edge. This contradicts Android’s expected behavior and breaks previously functional workflows.

Notably, .ics files still open correctly in the Calendar app, confirming that system-level routing is intact. The issue appears to be with Edge’s handling of intent-based links, possibly introduced in a recent update.

Device: Samsung Galaxy A9+  
OS: Android 15.0, OneUI 7.0
Edge Version: 139.0.3405.111

I’m requesting that Microsoft investigate and restore proper external app handling for supported links. This is a serious usability regression, and users should not have to resort to alternate browsers or workarounds to maintain basic interoperability.

Thanks for your attention.
