I've been wanting to disable link previews for YEARS!! Not for security, but to keep those corporate advertisements (aka previews) out of the conversations I have with my friends and family.
It feels super disingenuous when I type out an articulate, heartfelt, personal message to my loved one, character by character, anticipate their reaction reading it, and then hit send — only to find the URLs expanded 400 pixels into corporate advertisements designed by the bonehead SEO jerks who care about clickbaiting over content.
