Even if WhatsApp is not about privacy there seems to be a difference here.
Am I misunderstanding, or are these requests happening just because someone is typing a message that happens to contain some string that looks like a URL. At least with a browser, you are entering things that are supposed to ultimately result in HTTP requests.
- cuckcuckspruce 9y agoSome browsers may send what you type in the address bar to a search engine - I know that Chrome does. So again, I wouldn't be surprised if this is done - that's what web browsers do. They don't make a claim of providing privacy and security.
