iOS 27: “Malicious link blocked” for legitimate call forwarding codes
Hello! I develop a voicemail app service and I use MMI codes to let users enable/disable call forwarding to their voicemail number. For example, the app opens the Phone app with a code such as: **21*<phone number># This is expected behavior and is required for the service to work. However on iOS 27, those links are now blocked with a “Malicious link blocked” warning, saying that the link may forward incoming calls/messages. Is there any supported way for apps with a legitimate use case like this to request an exemption, or otherwise avoid this warning?
