Link Previews

iOS 10-style link previews in Messages.

Install

Open in Cydia Add slopkit to Cydia

How to Use

  1. For modern HTTPS sites, install TLSFix from Cydia, then open tlsroot.litten.ca in Safari and install its certificates.
  2. Send or receive a link in Messages: a link on its own becomes a preview card, and a link inside other text gets the card above its bubble.
  3. Tap the card to open the link, or touch and hold it to copy the link.
  4. Choose what loads in Settings › Link Previews.

What it does

  • A message that's just a link shows as a card with the page's picture, title and site, in place of the bubble, like iOS 10.
  • A link inside other text gets the card above its bubble.
  • Tap a card to open the link, or touch and hold it to copy it.
  • Everything loads on this iPhone, straight from each website. No server.
  • For modern HTTPS sites, install TLSFix and its certificates from tlsroot.litten.ca.
