I have the same question as here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/250430040. Why is there no way to preview the url of a link (for example to avoid phishing attempts) without the link preview automatically loading?
iPhone 11
Thank you for posting here in Apple Support Communities, patrickl27.
We understand that you're looking for a way to preview URL links to help avoid unexpectedly redirecting to phishing websites. You've come to the right place, we'd be happy to help. This can be done by using the "quick actions" feature on an unknown URL. For more information, please check out: Perform quick actions on iPhone - Apple Support
Here's another great resource that you can reference is regards to phishing and other scams: Recognize and avoid phishing messages, phony support calls, and other scams - Apple Support
Cheers!
