Next JS <Link requires double tapping on mobile

[vivbarajas]

Summary

On mobile devices, I have to double tap the the link in order for the link to route correctly. Here is the code:

 <Link
          href="/methodology"
          passHref={true}
          target="_blank"
          rel="noopener noreferrer"
          className="w-auto text-right text-sm text-riskfactor-400 underline underline-offset-2 hover:text-riskfactor-300 md:w-[345px]"
          onClick={() =>
            handleLinkAnalytics(
              'How is is it calculated?',
            ,
            )
          }
        >
          How is this Calculated?
        </Link>

I'm experiencing this too. I found that adding prefetch=false fixed the issue in our case.

We're also having this issue, but only on iPhone.

Hi Neim, Thank you for your message. I haven't seen any updates on this issue either, and it still seems to be persisting for me as well, even with `prefetch=false`. Viviana

@vivbarajas remove link try to use onTouchStart={() => router.push()} works much better on mobile devices
