I see significant traffic coming from this Bot when we send SMS to users. I am trying to get more details about this bot. Any pointers describing what it does, how important it is, and can we block it would be appreciated. The complete user agent is
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/56.0.2924.87 Safari/537.36 Google (+https://developers.google.com/+/web/snippet/)
Google's SMS app on Android uses this user agent when it crawls the shared URL to generate a preview inside the chat. This is usually a good thing because your customers will see the preview image and page title, rather than just a link. So I would not recommend blocking it.
