I have a technical question for @Damus users. Since Apple sucks, Damus can’t zap individual posts but it can still zap profiles. When I zap someone’s profile with Damus, it automatically opens up one of my Lightning wallets to do it. It used to open up a wallet that I didn’t want to use, and once I deleted that wallet app it now opens up another of my wallets instead. I didn’t set either of those wallets in damus, and I do have other Lightning wallets on my phone. How does damus determine which wallet to open, and how can I change which one it picks by default?

It defaults to your most recently downloaded Lightning wallet (I believe), unless you set a default in settings > zaps > select default wallet However, you can also bypass Apple’s obstinacy using this sneaky script here: (Feel free to vet the link with the Damus team our your nostr WoT, of course)
I think Apple does it for you.. and if I were to hazard a guess, it is either the last compatible app you installed, or the first. I think the apps register themselves to pick up the request when they get installed. Android lets you pick one or if you don't, it will always show you a list of compatible apps, Apple probably thinks this is too complicated for their users.
Noticed this with any attempt to use lightning (outside of specific wallet app)- opens a wallet I don’t use without option to set/select. Figured it was an app/iPhone issue (?)
Appreciate you taking the time to reply and clarify. ✨💜✨ Apple definitely seems like a single point of failure. ⚡️
enable the wallet selector, it will show a list of wallets plus the abiltiy to copy an invoice or open the default wallet
Sorry i misread this as a damus thread on my new client, disregard
Man is it hard to install and use on day to day life? I was looking for installing lineage on a old phone for testing how it goes. I know it is still not as good as graphene, but still better than apple and google shits...I have a friend who started using it on a motorola phone...

It is very easy to install. They have a web installer that walks you through it quite simply. And you can use any apps you can on a regular phone with the exception I believe of some banking apps.
