PSA: Truncating the displayed URL of links can hide the fact that they may be direct file download links. Phones don't have a hover functionality so you may find yourself downloading a file you didn't intend to. This just happened to me a few minutes ago.

But there's not an easy way to check links on your phone. I was just scrolling a timeline here and suddenly found myself downloading a PDF file I never intended to.
