Open redirect link in Safari
Takes a URL from input and makes it open into Safari by opening a temporary webpage.
Get original link
Takes shortened links from input and expands them into the full URL.
Shortcut Information
Designed to work with URLs created with link shorteners and Apple News links specifically, this shortcut un-shrinks your links automatically and gets the original source URL of the webpage.
When an Apple News link is detected, the shortcut takes the original link from Apple’s redirect page and copies it instead of taking you into Safari.
Note: Shortcuts requires permission to expand URLs from specific websites, but once a site like Twitter is allowed, you shouldn’t be prompted again.
