If you're sharing your form URL through messaging platforms like WhatsApp, Telegram, or similar services, please note that these tools have their own caching mechanisms, which we cannot control. If your uploaded image is not appearing when the link is shared, please consider the following:
1. Clear the cache of the messaging app you’re using, if possible.
- For LinkedIn, you can check this page: Post Inspector
- For Facebook, you can check this page: Repost debugger
- For Telegram, you can go to your account settings and clear the cache, or check this page: How to update the preview of the link to your store in Telegram?
2. Wait a bit and try re-sharing the link, sometimes it takes a short while for the updated preview to appear.
3. Check the image size. Some apps (like WhatsApp) may not display images larger than a certain size (e.g., WhatsApp may not show preview images larger than 600KB).
If the image still doesn’t appear after these steps, please don't hesitate to reach out to us.
Yes, you can always remove your username from the meta title by simply deleting it from the section or replacing it with another text content.
