One aspect is the lack of debounce, but also revealing the endusers ip and user agent. They could proxy external link requests via whatsapp servers without breaking end to end encryption. wonder what iMessage does ?!
- nkassis 9y agoCould you explain how that would work? Right now they seem to be doing it client side thus not ever seeing the URL themselves. If they were to have a proxy said proxy would need to know the URL to fetch. Is there some alternative solution?

Doing these requests on the device is stupid, but proxying them through FB servers would border on malicious.
