    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting us and we regret the inconvenience caused.

    Same as social media platforms like Facebook, WhatsApp also follows OpenGraph protocols and uses OG tags to fetch information about the website.

    Please refer to this article for a quick reference:

    Hope that helps.

    Thank you.

    After Looking Deep into the problem I found what creating problem. I am using wordpress WebP image feature. The image set as featured image and image available in post are in webP format. And WebP format image is not showing as thumbnail when sharing it to facebook and whatsapp. I think you should make an update for WebP image as OpenGraph. In short, the WebP image is set as featured image, so it creating problem.

    Hello,

    Unfortunately, this is not something that we create. The Opengraph protocol is developed by Facebook and all the supported formats are also defined by them.

    The supported image types are “jpeg, png, and gif”. Please have a look at this article from Facebook for more details: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/sharing/webmasters/#images

    Hope that helps.

    Thank you.
