Huh. They do[0]. I stand corrected. I wonder why they don't also support it for the client[1]? It can't possibly be for security if they have a workaround. I guess for whatever the same reason is that they invented their own slightly messed up version of Markdown instead of using the same format as 99% of the entire web. :/ I dunno. Glad that there's a workaround though, and that it's officially supported.

  Sending <http://google.com|click me> on the iOS App works

    Sending it on the browser version on Chrome, it shows very briefly the decorated "click me", but in less than a second, it changes back to the literal version
