In Element Web and Desktop, a Link Preview is generated
No link preview at all in Element-IOS
Outcome
What did you expect?
The user should have the same experience regardless if he's on mobile or on his notebook/PC using Element-Web or -Desktop.
Missing Link previews is basically a pain and not like a modern messenger should behave.
I have the argument in my mind "the server is generating the preview and can't inject it into the chat due to the active E2EE". But Web and Desktop can, I suppose the preview is generated locally by the app.
Element-IOS should do the same. This will also not be a security issue as the creation happens fully locally and does not expose any details of the chat itself to the outside.
What happened instead?
Element-IOS does not show any link preview in encrypted rooms or DM chats.
