    I am migrating from twenty thirteen and have found that my mailto and tel links continue to work fine on desktop and ios, but now android requires holding the link and selecting the action.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Can you look in twenty thirteen to see if there is CSS or a script that is needed for twenty nineteen to behave the same?

    We faced the same issue with a mailto link on our blog with the Twenty Nineteen theme. The problem is actually a collateral damage of the issue posted here. Resolving this fixed the mailto issue for us.

    As Andrew Nevins said, the fix will be available from the next release. But if you need it working now, follow the instructions below:

    1. Access the touch-keyboard-navigation.js file. The path is /public_html/wp-content/themes/twentynineteen/js/touch-keyboard-navigation.js.

    2. Download the file to your computer as backup.

    3. Comment out line number 224 containing the code window.location = url; by prepending with //.

    4. Save Changes.

    If you’re using Google Chrome you’ll have to clear your site’s data from Chrome in order for you to see the changes.

    WOW, that worked! Thank you very much,
    I never would have found that fix.

    This topic talks of a different problem, which was solved by removing that whole script.
