The default in iOS is to load a preview of the link while showing a menu with the option to copy it. If I’m copying a link, I want to sanitise it by removing utm and other tracking pox before pasting it. Automagically loading the preview prevents this for the initial request. Signal is the only app I’ve seen which does this properly, providing the ‘copy link’ option without loading a preview.
Additionally, it would be great if there were an option which could strip tracking tags appended to URLs when composing posts. I know I’m in the minority who actively do it manually, and it could be an effective way to prevent trackers from spreading.

Oh yeah iOS sucks about as much as Android
