If a link is a tracking link that uses a unique URL, then any access to that link is associated with the original recipient for whom the URL was created. Lastly, there are comments earlier in this thread saying that link previews do not compromise privacy/security because they are generated by the server and not the client. So if the goal is to reduce overall complexity, then it seems better to address this in settings rather than having it in every single message that contains a link preview. Users look at the chat UI all the time, and rarely look at the settings. In this case, something like #3330 could help, but that approach also adds complexity in the chat UI. That is also a valid user request, even though it is a preference. Some users are not concerned about the link being accessed, they just don't want to see previews in their chats. #3330 is not a solution to this problem, because it doesn't stop the link from being accessed. One-time-use links simply cannot be sent via telegram because the server accesses the link. New settings should be provided selectively as needed, and this is a case where there is a clear needĪs others have already noted earlier in this thread, this is a functional issue, not just a UI preference. That philosophy cannot be blindly applied as an excuse to ignore all feature requests that require settings. The justification for ignoring it seems to a general philosophy that "settings are evil". I am quite baffled that this simple request has not been addressed 5 year later.
