This beta version of the app makes it so that when you send just a URL, the recipient only sees the preview (primary image, page title, primary domain of web address)

It is not for the best since it is a potential security risk and questionable in terms of privacy.

Oof. Hopefully a security professional will slap some sense into someone before it gets out of beta.
