    Hi there!

    WhatsApp uses the same Open Graph tags that Facebook uses to display images when an item is shared. We already provide the og:image tag required for a thumbnail to show up and we have no control over how WhatsApp treats that image in their app.

    If you want them to treat thumbnails like video shares, you should reach out to their support and they can better advise: https://www.whatsapp.com/contact/

    I hope that clarifies things!
