This feature request is mobile-specific. Previews already show on desktop.

We do get preview data on hyperlinks. Are you wanting it to show as a larger image, like it's the main image on the post (how Facebook does)? It would be nice if when we're typing in a post, we could see the preview image that's going to display & then have the ability to delete it if we want. I already have a feature request to allow us to delete previews, but I do think it could be nice if on a post where it's the only link, the preview could show up bigger. In my example photo, the opengraph image I have set for this post is a horizontal rectangle, so in the square preview, it gets cropped.

Misty Dorman: I do t get any preview at all when posting links! Just tested several and no preview image displays. I’m using the mobile app but haven’t tested on desktop but yes would be ideal to show a full image thumbnail like FB. Facebook, Linkedin etc all pull and display OGPost.jpg by default. Please help this is needed badly!

Gary George: if you're wanting a full-image instead of a thumbnail, I think that will need to be a separate feature request. I did just check one post on mobile & the link in the post did not generate a preview, so I think you're right on that this feature request is mobile-specific.
