I really like the new Instagram and Facebook messengers because of how rich they are: you can send text, audio, pictures and video, and links get nice previews.

I really like the new Instagram and Facebook messengers because of how rich they are: you can send text, audio, pictures and video, and links get nice previews. You can control how long your messages stay around, and you can react to messages with the full emoji set.

just for everyone to keep in mind wrt to link previews on fb owned products https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2020/10/study-shows-which-messengers-leak-your-data-drain-your-battery-and-more/ https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2020/10/study... > Instagram owner Facebook said in an email that its servers download only a downscaled version of an image, not the original file, and that the company doesn't store that data. The email also said that its servers run the JavaScript to vet it for security. Mysk, however, said that the video demonstrates that Instagram downloaded a 2.6GB file (an Ubuntu ISO with the file renamed to ubuntu.png) in its entirety. He also noted that most other messengers strip out JavaScript rather than downloading it and running it on their servers. https://cdn.arstechnica.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/link-preview-comparison.jpg https://cdn.arstechnica.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/link-...
