Let’s fix YouTube if it’s not showing the thumbnail when you post a link to WhatsApp.

YouTube should show you the thumbnail of the video you share if it’s on Facebook, text message, Messenger, WhatsApp, etc. Anytime you share a link you should see the thumbnail. If it’s not working I walk you through steps to offload the YouTube app and reinstall it because it’s most likely a glitch and this should fix it. This trick works for both iPhone and Android in 2021.

I hope this video helped solve your problem. App still not working? If so, drop your question in a comment below!

  2. Do you have a video to show website and YouTube link thumbnails without losing my messages for Samsung A20?

  3. it wasn't work for me even I lost my all watsap data by applying the said method… 😡😪😠

  4. Thank you, it worked when I removed WhatsApp from my phone and downloaded it again. However, I lost my all chat history something I did not want. 🙆🤷‍♀

  5. Out of all the videos I searched for this was the most helpful. It was happening via WhatsApp Web so when you spoke about offloading I just unlinked and relinked it and after that no problems. Thank you Trevor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  6. Not working, be careful (without warning) .. your data may be deleted by clearing it, save your chat on WA first… 😓
