Final answer:

To enable link preview in iMessage, go to the Settings app, select Messages, and make sure MMS Messaging and iMessage are turned on. There might be an option for 'Preview Links' to enable. If not seeing previews, restart iMessage or your iPhone, and ensure you have the latest iOS update.

Step-by-step explanation:

To enable link preview in iMessage, follow these steps:

  1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
  2. Scroll down and tap on Messages.
  3. Ensure that the MMS Messaging and iMessage options are turned on.
  4. There should also be a toggle for 'Preview Links' or similar, ensure that this is switched on.
  5. If the toggle is not available, then link previews are typically enabled by default when both iMessage and MMS Messaging are active.

Having iMessage enabled with MMS can automatically provide previews for links shared in iMessage. If you're still not seeing link previews, turn off iMessage and then turn it back on. If the issue persists, consider restarting your iPhone or checking for iOS updates as there might be a bug that's preventing link previews from showing up.
