WhatsApp is reportedly working on a new feature that will automatically convert URLs shared as a status into rich link previews. WABetaInfo has spotted the in-development feature in the latest WhatsApp beta release for iOS and shared screenshots showcasing the upcoming change.
Currently, if you share a URL as a status update on WhatsApp, it does not generate a link preview. The URL appears as plain text, but you can tap on it to head over to the target website. However, WhatsApp aims to change that with a future update. The attached screenshot showcases what a rich link preview might look like when the change rolls out with a future build. The preview will likely include an image from the target website, the title, a meta description, and the URL.
