Describe the feature you'd like to request

I don't really know in which category to put this in. The issue is terrible downloading behavior on the iPhone's in-app browser drawer. I expect this not to be possible to be fixed.

When a direct download link (like: https://utfs.io/f/IdUTzeHLbG...) is accessed from an app (like email or DM app) the drawer page is stuck for a long time. For other people, this seems like a "download not working". The progress bar is at first also stuck.

But what seems to be happening it's like a download is happening FIRST, and only then "save" page is displayed. It's the opposite of regular browser behavior, where the Download popup is displayed right on the page entered. That's happening on my and two clients' phones. Tested on Gmail app, Proton Mail, and Instagram.

It could be that there's something else happening, but that's what I was able to discover. As I said I don't expect this to be possible to be fixed due to this being a native iPhone behavior, but maybe there's something to be done on the Uploadthing side or smarter people can somehow alter the behavior.

Describe the solution you'd like to see

The download should look like it's working inside an In-App Browser Drawer.
