Link Sharing

Attach URL addresses to your text messages, so contacts can immediately visit whatever site or link you send.

Note: When composing your message, avoid placing the link at the end of the message. This often results in your message being filtered as spam by carriers. For more information, see our Anti-spam Recommendations.

Sharing a Link

You can use Link Sharing in individual messages by composing a brand new message or continuing a conversation with a contact. 

You can also use Link Sharing in a group message. Create a new group message, then select the Link Sharing icon while composing your message.
