hey, I have an issue:
Link previews not working in WhatsApp Web (bot) but work fine in mobile app
Link previews (images) work perfectly when sending links manually from mobile WhatsApp
When using whatsapp-web.js bot to send the same links, no preview appears (only the title, description + URL).
This affects all types of links (Amazon, etc.), it doesn't show the product image
top: bot message (no preview)
bottom: own message
it's the same link, I don't know why it doesn't work

It depends on how fast the link responds, because in a backend there's time to wait
