Meta tags

Open Graph tags control how your content appears when shared on social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn.

Missing or incorrect tags can result in broken previews, missing images, or unappealing shares that reduce click-through rates.

Page request

When you share a link on WhatsApp, it sends a server-side request, not a browser, to fetch the page's HTML and read the meta tags. This is the request it makes.

curl -vL \

  -H 'User-Agent: WhatsApp/2.1.8' \

  -H 'Accept: */*' \

  'https://www.apple.com/newsroom/search/?q=Apple%20Deploys%20OpenGraph%2B'

Image request

After reading the meta tags, WhatsApp makes a separate request to download the image. Some platforms use a different User-Agent or Accept header for images.

curl -vL \

  -H 'User-Agent: WhatsApp/2.1.8' \

  -H 'Accept: image/*' \
