By default, iOS does not allow you to copy magnet:// links directly from websites or apps. Magnet Linker is here to solve that limitation. When you tap a magnet link, iOS redirects you to this app, where you can easily copy the link to your clipboard. From there, you can share it or use it with your preferred tools and services—no hassle, no workarounds. Whether you're organizing files or sharing links, Magnet Linker makes managing magnet:// links on your iPhone or iPad fast and simple. Note: Magnet Linker is a utility for copying and sharing magnet links only. It does not download or manage torrent files.
