Is it possible to behave like Telegram.WebApp.openTelegramLink?

[krutoo]

Hi, see the openTelegramLink method in docs of tma.js. There is also Telegram.WebApp.openTelegramLink method in official docs of TMA

Looks like they are working differently but I need behavior of Telegram.WebApp.openTelegramLink

It is possible to call something from tma.js to make same behavior as Telegram.WebApp.openTelegramLink?

In my case I need to go from mini app to chat with bot

Instead it, openTelegramLink from tma.js opens something like browser inside mini app window

Can you provide any example that works different for you?

[krutoo]

Here is what I do on button click but nothing happens:

// click handler
openTelegramLink('https://t.me/Influm_bot');
miniApp.close();

Here is video (telegram on macos):

Interesting thing is yesterday it was working on iPhone - it closes mini app and goes to chat with bot
I definitely didn't redeploy anything
Today it is not working on macos/iPhone

Have you checked if this link leads you somewhere?

[krutoo]

Of course, it leads to test bot

The text I see is "Sorry, this user doesn't seem to exist".

Do you use production environment?

[krutoo]

Oh, sorry, yes, it is development environment, but it works same in prod with other link

Have you tried platforms other than iPhone and macOS?

The behavior of this function is the same as in the Telegram SDK - it opens specified link.

In case it doesn't work, consider creating a new issue.
