How to disable link previews

Android
iOS
As an advanced security measure, you can turn on Disable link previews. If you turn on Disable link previews, the links you send to others won’t generate a link preview. This is an optional layer of security to protect your IP address, which may contain information that some of our most privacy-conscious users are mindful of.
The Disable link previews setting doesn't impact links that you receive from others. Receiving link previews has no impact on your IP address.
Note:
  • Disable link previews is turned off by default.
  • As always, your personal messages are end-to-end encrypted. No one, not even WhatsApp, can read or listen to them.
