Steps to Reproduce

You can use the following ViewController swift class in a sample project and run it on a real device/phone in iOS 16.6.

You will be able to see the issue where clicking on the Like or Add to watch later icon does nothing. It only shows it in the selected mode. The icon button click is not working.

class ViewController: UIViewController {
    private var wkWebView: WKWebView!
    let htmlString = """

        wkWebView.widthAnchor.constraint(equalTo: guide.widthAnchor).isActive = true
        wkWebView.heightAnchor.constraint(equalTo: wkWebView.widthAnchor, multiplier: 9/16).isActive = true
    }
}

extension ViewController: WKNavigationDelegate {
    func webView(_ webView: WKWebView, decidePolicyFor navigationAction: WKNavigationAction, decisionHandler: @escaping (WKNavigationActionPolicy) -> Void) {
        if let url = navigationAction.request.url, navigationAction.navigationType == .linkActivated {
            UIApplication.shared.open(url, options: [:], completionHandler: nil)
            decisionHandler(.cancel)
        } else {
            decisionHandler(.allow)
        }
    }
}

Please let me know how to fix that issue?
