Another day, another interesting news at WhatsApp, even if this timeless significant than the one we told you yesterday: in the Beta version the large previews for shared links are being rolled out.
Yesterday we told you about the release, always first in the WhatsApp Beta branch, of the long-awaited chat transfer function from iOS to Android and now, waiting for the introduction of the one in the opposite direction – from Android to iOS -, let’s see this other little novelty.

As anticipated last month, WhatsApp is testing a new way of presenting the preview images shown when a link is shared. Well, now the improvement is rolling out for users of WhatsApp Beta for Android (version 2.21.17.15) and for iOS (version 2.21.160.17).
The function is presented as shown in the screenshot: when sharing a link, a large preview image (Large Link Previews) is shown. This should help the user who receives the message to decide with greater awareness whether it is worth opening the link sent to him or not.
