A user encountered an issue where product page links shared on WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger displayed no preview image, though Facebook wall posts showed images correctly.
Root Cause:
The problem stemmed from the og:image property code in the theme.liquid file.
Solution Implemented:
Modified the Open Graph image code as suggested by another community member
This fixed the Facebook Messenger preview issue
WhatsApp-Specific Constraint:
The WhatsApp issue had a different cause—WhatsApp requires preview images to be under 300KB in file size. Once the user reduced their product images below this threshold, WhatsApp previews began working.
Status: Resolved. Both Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp now display product images correctly when links are shared.
