iMessage now supports rich links previews for Threads

<div class="feat-image">(https://9to5mac.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2023/08/imessage-threads-rich-link-previews.jpg?quality=82&strip=all&w=1600)</div><p>iMessage will now show rich post link previews for Threads, just like Twitter and Mastodon. This means that when a user shares a link to a Threads post via iMessage, the chat bubble now conveniently shows the text of the post inline, along with the avatar and username of the post author.</p>



<p>This preview is based on standard meta tags supplied in the HTML page’s source code, but Apple has to explicitly whitelist providers (https://www.threads.net/@jonazn/post/CvQEU96BlIY/?igshid=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==) to show the text content in the bubbles. So that means Apple is at least somewhat endorsing Threads as a legitimate platform.</p>
