Google messages, sent a text and accidentally put a period between 2 words. The app inserted a link to some stupid website that had that web address.

Any one know how to turn off the auto link, I dont even know what that feature would be?

Really wish I would have just stayed with the pixel series, the stupid shite samsung adds reminds me why I left in the first place.

It would have done the same thing on your Pixel. Done it myself a few times. I don't think there's any setting to disable.

is this messages turning your text into a link or parsing messages that look like they have a link into a link. you can toggle the latter off

edit for link: LINK

It turned words in my message into a link.

I typed "will.be" and apparently there is a website will.be so messages added a link to it. Just wondering if there is a way to disable messages from doing that.

sure but the distinction im trying to make is are you actually sending a link, or is meaages just parsing what it thinks is a link. you might be able to turn that off with the link i provided, but the person you are sending it too might still parse it as a link. if its sending it as a link then thats another story.

I understand now, Ill have to ask them if it actually sent a link.

also if you have android and the person you messaged has an iphone then its even more liklely the messaging app is parsing things that look like links into clickable links since i dont think there is a way to "send links" with SMS/MMS

No shite, my point about samsung was in regards to other redundant features they have thats already provided in android. Their apps are annoying.
