1. Check WhatsApp Link Previews

Ensure Link Preview is enabled. Send a YouTube link to yourself or another contact to see if the preview appears.


2. Clear Cache for WhatsApp & YouTube

Go to Settings > Apps > WhatsApp > Storage > Clear Cache

Do the same for YouTube.


3. Try a Different YouTube Link

Some shortened URLs or restricted videos might not generate thumbnails. Try sharing a different video.


4. Update WhatsApp & YouTube

Go to the Google Play Store and check for updates for both apps.


5. Use a Different Internet Connection

Try switching from Wi-Fi to mobile data or vice versa to see if the issue persists.


If the problem still occurs, it might be a temporary WhatsApp or YouTube API issue. Let us know if this helps! 😊
