Quando vou compartilhar um link no WhatsApp de uma notícia do meu site, a prévia do link com a imagem não aparece. A prévia do link é uma ferramenta essencial para o nosso jornalismo. Alguém poderia me ajudar ?
It’s not possible on free hosting, and it’s intentional, so there’s no “fix”.

Hello and welcome to the community. If I understand this correctly, you wanted to share your InfinityFree website’s post on WhatsApp. And you also wanted a preview image to go with it like the social media share previews.
I would say just share the link without the image. The image previews are usually taken from OpenGraph already set parameters. If your site is not using OG there will be no image to share. And even if your site is using OG properly, the link preview generator will be block on free hosting as stated in the previous post.
However, if you insist the image preview is truly necessary, you might have to use a dedicated third-party app. It will take a bit more effort. If your case is what I’m thinking, try something like https://pikwy.com/ , set the URL of your post, adjust the options, click “Capture screenshot”. It will generate the image preview and select from the Share’s line of buttons which app you are sharing it with. WhatsApp included.
Note that the output, you will be directly sharing the third-party’s image preview not your original post. Nonetheless, your original post URL will be included but not clickable. Your readers will still need to paste it in their browser’s address bar.
