In this guide, we will show you the steps to turn on or off Link Preview in Signal. Owing to the recent changes to the WhatsApp privacy policies, many users are jumping ships over to Signal. The reason for settling on this app is no hidden secret. With encrypted chats, tons of useful functionalities, and giving top-most priority to the user data, the app has managed to gather quite a loyal fanbase of sorts. However, if you trying out this service for the first time, then you might have a few questions up your sleeves.
Among them, queries regarding how to turn on or off Link Previews in Signal seem to be right there at the top. As is evident from its name, this feature will show you a snippet of the URL that someone has shared with you (or you have shared with someone). For example, if you share any article with this feature enabled, then it will show the title, the featured image as well as a short description (or what you call a meta description) of that post. This would give the user information about whether the link is worth their attention or not.
On the other hand, if you have this feature disabled, then the link would be shown in its bare form, with just the plain text URL. There are some that don’t wish to populate their chat screen with all the details about a link and hence wish to keep this feature disabled. Well, the app has taken note of both the scenarios. You could easily turn on or off Link Preview in Signal, and in this guide, we will show you how this could be achieved. Follow along for the detailed instructions.
