WhatsApp Disable link Preview feature
The meta-owned messaging app is developing a new feature that offers greater control to users over their privacy by providing them with a tool to prevent the automatic generation of previews when sending links. It will also introduce a new layer of security to the messaging experience, as it will help users protect their IP address from being inferred by third-party websites.
One of the important things is to note that disabling the link preview within WhatsApp affects only the user who chooses to enable this feature. When the users opt to disable link preview, this means they won’t see automatic previews of the link they send to their chat.
