As of the last mobile update when I create links to existing files they don’t become active right away when using live preview. Not sure if the same applies to creating a link for a new file as I could not duplicate in that scenario. I have only ran into the issue with the mobile app, not desktop app.
Supporting Info
App: Android phone app
Device: Samsung S20+ 5G

Context to original thread (Discord):
Did you follow the troubleshooting guide? Y
Tested in my regular vault as well as a test vault as requested in the Discord thread. Tested with all community plug ins turned off while using the default theme.
Steps to reproduce
- Android phone app - create link in file with
[[ ]] - Select file from drop down results
- Press enter or tap with touch screen
Expected result
- Live preview link actively working
- IE Clicking the link jumps to the file it is linked to
- Or similar action depending what command I apply to the link
Actual result
- Link shows up as it would in source mode
- IE shows up as [[file]]
- vs file being a different colour (active link)
- Result: link does not work. Can’t jump (or other actions) to file from link

Additional information
Issue with testing the bug is I cannot always duplicate at will
- Bug is not consistent
- Sometimes it can take 1/2 hr before it shows up
- Other times only few minutes
- Once it occurs it normally keeps happening for a bit
Actions to force link to become active
- Toggle preview/ source mode
- Refresh the app
- After link with issue: on the next line/ block start typing & follow it by a space also makes link active
