Part of whats great about Quicklook is that it just works! and it's great to be able to tell creators that their content will be easily viewable for iOS devices. Do you think the new changes to default Browser and Mail will negatively impact this?

Now that this change has already been announced, it would be great if possible to make sure 3rd party apps like FB/IG/Linkedin/Chrome on iOS, and any other app that uses safari services to support QuickLook! Would greatly increase AR Quicklook's footprint and help stress and demonstrate the value of AR to marketers!

Unfortunately at this time AR Quick Look is not supported in WKWebView, which is what a 3rd-party browser would use.

It might be possible for a browser to use the WKWebView delegates to detect a navigation to a USDZ file and trigger Quick Look directly.

Thanks for the reply. Wouldn't Apple be able to force developers to support AR Quicklook in their Safari Services? I know as a developer, we need to meet certain standards set by apple. for example for recently Sign in with Apple was mandated. is AR Quicklook too small of a potato for this? Thanks!
