Open links in corresponding app instead of browser

When I click on a link, it is always opened in a browser, even if I had installed the corresponding app. For example, YouTube, Reddit, etc. In Settings -> Apps -> Configure apps -> Opening links -> YouTube, there is the option **Open supported links** set to **Open in this app** and **Supported links** are *youtu.be*, *m.youtube.com*, *youtube.com*, *www.youtube.com*. Nevertheless, YouTube links are still being opened in browser. [This answer](https://android.stackexchange.com/a/67106) suggests installing [Open Link in App](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.snarfed.android.openinapp) , but I think that the system should handle this without any third-party app. I am using a phone with Android 7.0.
