DESCRIPTION

Could auto-link on received and sent messages be disabled? Possible URLs are automatically converted into hyperlink. This could be harmful if someone messages you a malicious link, or even unintentionally, if you forgot to add space after the period. For example. (the above link is malicious.do not click it)

STEPS

  1. Send any message with possible URL (e.g. possible.url)

EXPECTED

auto-links should be disable in text message

OBSERVATIONS

possible URLs are automatically converted into hyperlink.

Why would a user wish for hyperlinks to be disabled? Most people send and receive text messages between friends. If a friend was sending me malicious links, they'd be in BIG trouble!

You can, temporarily install 2 browser, then each time you will click a link it will ask you which browser you want to use (I you select only once each time)
Then just go back to avoid open the malicious link

I think this is a feature too few people care for, to be worth adding to the app
