It’s even trickier than that, because Delta Chat clients can also linkify text other than that beginning with http: and https:. Notably, they usually linkify a URL having the scheme stripped, substituting http for it. As linkification is not implemented by Delta Chat itself so far, rather left for the respective platform libraries, I think this feature will be more costly to implement properly than you would think if you wanted it to work consistently across platforms.

Some may already consider that as a bug by itself.

I found this [FR](https://support.delta.chat/t/tabs-for-links-and-files/2142) in that regard from some time ago.

Explanation I think these two tabs would complete the gallery. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.delta.chat/t/add-link-tab-in-chat-apps-media/4989)._
