Description

On the Element desktop app, when a link is shared in a E2E chat, it displays the URL preview, as expected (if enabled for the chat). However, I have no option for that on Android. I can view link previews for unencrypted chats, but E2E chats show only the link.

I request that the functionality behave similar on Android as it does on desktop/web. Thanks!
