Is it possible to change the first view that opens in an iOS app?
When I open a table, there is always a view that opens.
It’s not the top view, it’s not a favourite view, it’s not a previously opened view.
I think the web version keeps the previously opened view, but iOS doesn’t seem to do that.

Welcome to the Airtable community.

When I open a base in the iOS app, the base currently opens to the last view I saw when I was on that device. This is different from previous behavior. Previously, the iOS app would open to the last view I saw across any devices.

Thanks for your reply, kuovonne.

I thought so too, but now I can’t even remember the last view I had on that device.
My plan is pro.
I’ve tried reinstalling the app, but that didn’t change it.

It would be easily achieved if their mobile app would support URL Schemes as I recommended in 2019 and others have asked as far back as 2016.

It seems that the iOS app opens the last view opened in the browser.
I would like to see the last viewed view stored for each device.

Thank you for the article, it’s a nice guide.
It’s going to be easier to type on iOS if I can select where to access by URL like in the web version, or if it supports URL schemes!
