You can easily find and organize web links that friends share with you in Messages conversations. Links shared with you are added to the Safari start page, the page that first appears when you open a new Safari window, below Suggestions.
You can keep those links on your start page, remove them, or organize related links into Tab Groups. For it to work, Safari must be turned on for Shared with You in your Messages settings, and your friend must be in your contacts.
