Open Links in Background without Leaving the App on Android and iOS

Smartphones in today’s world mean flawless multitasking and browsing through myriad of apps at the same time. Social media apps like Facebook, Twitter, Tumbler and many others involves in-app links i.e. navigating to webpages via the links given in the apps which becomes cumbersome to leave the app and switch to a browser back and forth.

The worst thing about these in-app links is that you have to stare at the smartphone screen forever and wait for the links to load inside the app browser. This restricts the user from browsing through the feeds further and is somewhat irritating to wait for the webpages to load.

There are some apps which make this work easy for you and help you to browse through the apps by opening in-app links in the background.
