The web preview in iMessage is performed by each client. So your friend should see their IP in the preview since it's their client making the connection on their end.
This is easy to test if you've got another device with iMessage. Take your phone off WiFi and send yourself the link. The device on WiFi should show your home ISP address while the device on cellular should show the cellular provider IP.

- mulmen 6y agoThat does not appear to be how iMessage works. I just tried this and my IP did appear on the receiving end. Since I edited the URL in the actual message it is possible the preview was cached from the original redirect. Either way it is infuriating that iMessage does not show you what it is actually going to send.
- kalium-xyz 6y agoInteresting, I didnt realize I could get people their IP by simply sending them my website without them even ever having to visit it themselves
- mulmen 6y agoBased on my limited testing you can’t. And that makes sense because I could make your device visit a URL just by sending you a message.
- kalium-xyz 6y agoThats what I said: I can send you my website and I will see your device visit it even if you dont want it to.
- mulmen 6y agoAnd what I said is that's not how iMessage works. The receiver only visits your page if they click the link.
