You might have been among those who never clicked on that particular link in WhatsApp chat because of the weird-looking preview. WhatsApp can give you more accuracy over your online security. According to the emerging story, WhatsApp is working on an opt-out feature that will stop someone from seeing the image (link) preview.
Today, WhatsApp automatically copies content from webpages, with each text containing a few links, using a title, description, and in some cases, an image. This approach to M braces may, in some cases, give mixed signals to consumers. Outright malicious individuals often use deceptive advertisements to trick victims into clicking harmful links.
The recently discovered “Disable link preview” option in the new WhatsApp beta version is now available for users who can actively decide whether or not to reveal every detail in their posts. On this button, you will set whether to display link previews or only r(naked) URLs. This means that only verified individuals will be able to engage in drug dealing. Spontaneous linking will also be discouraged, especially with unknown persons.
However, other than that, this is still a dress rehearsal for the full feature. The fact that WhatsApp keeps messages secure using end-to-end encryption is a testament to its concern for users’ privacy and security. Making users dependent on link previews impacts the security and awareness levels of online communications. In this way, WhatsApp is helping shape a safe and conscious online communication experience.
