Feature Request: option to disable hyperlinks in the SMS app #2119

Open orazioedoardo opened 1 year ago

orazioedoardo commented 1 year ago

When attempting to delete a spam/phishing SMS, there is a risk of accidentally clicking the link, especially if the message bubble is small. You can delete the whole conversation but sometimes spammers use spoofed sender so the SMS ends up in the same conversation along with legit messages, which means you need to delete the single message. Other messengers disable links by default, at least if coming from known senders.

Does this include phone numbers, addresses etc...?

@neelchauhan We should probably disable MMS auto-retrieve by default. It's long overdue. It also needs to be moved to modern target API level. This change seems quite niche.
