Safari for iOS 13 has got quite a few notable features like the download manager and the option to automatically close all tabs. But the one new addition that I hate is the ability to show the link preview of any webpage. While the link preview could be helpful for many who want to take a peek at what a specific webpage has to offer before visiting the site, this feature hasn’t gone down well with my taste. As most of the time when I long press on a link, it’s for copying it and not seeing its preview. And I don’t think I’m the only one who finds this feature irksome. Fortunately, there is a quick way to disable webpage previews in Safari on the iPhone and iPad. If you are also in the same boat (as me), follow the steps to disable Safari link preview in iOS 13 and iPadOS 13.
It hardly takes a couple of steps to get rid of the webpage previews. So, depending on your needs, you can hide and show them with ease. More significantly, you can get it done right from the web browser app on your device without having to venture deep into the Settings app. That said, let’s check out the quick steps!
Going forward, whenever you touch and hold any link, an action sheet will show up with the destination URL. Simply tap on it and you will be taken to the webpage. Later, if you decide to bring back the link preview, simply touch and hold any link of a webpage and then choose Show Link Previews.
