Maybe because some apps break when you share two links. With whatsapp, 
there is one link above, and text below. An url in the text is ignored.

I just tried repeating the action with sending an RCS, did not happen. 
Nor in Telegram (in Telegram, the post is sent immediately, no chance to 
edit9. I don't have a dummy account in Signal to try.
