Safari iOS forcing HTTPS for HTTP bookmark

I have a handful of self hosted sites on my LAN, only one has SSL enabled. On my iPhone, in Safari, I have a favorite for one of the non-SSL sites, but when I tap it, it brings me to the site that has SSL enabled. With how I have subdomains in nginx configured, this tells me that Safari is forcing HTTPS for the site, even though I’ve triple checked that the favorite starts with http://

Any suggestions for why this is happening? It only started happening a few months ago

EDIT: another weird detail I forgot to mention is that if I tap-hold the favorite, tap Copy, then Paste & Go in the address bar, it goes to the correct site

On a Mac you can delete ~/Library/Cookies/HSTS.plist file and restart Safari to fix this, not sure how to do that on mobile, you could use Firefox or Brave.

Settings > Safari > Not Secure Connection Warning ‘off’

Apple started shipping iOS 18 with this ‘on’ by default.

I believe that was the first thing I tried because it’s already off. Thanks though
