I suggest adding a setting to "Telegram for Android" and "Telegram Desktop" to disable link previews in all posts. This is true for those who also prefer not to see stickers in chats, which leave less space for other content. Most webpages do not provide hypertext articles with link preview boxes, and most web users have been fine with this for nearly three decades.
I will clarify that we are only talking about disabling the display of link previews specifically in the current Telegram client under this account.
There you see that MANY, MANY users are requesting this TINY fix.

I'm also looking for a way to turn off adding link previews to my messages by default. They feel very intrusive in a lot of cases, especially when talking in a larger group chat. There should be an option you can set so that you need to take action to add the preview, rather than needing to take action to post without it.

Please add this setting
/etc/shadow🐱
the preview links can hurt privacy and will destroy some one-time links

Please turn off link previews by default. They are ugly, take up space, and also a security risk.
