Hello guys,

2) When shared on iPad to FB, it showed only a tiny thumb nail of the featured picture, however, i want it as a big featured image like the one shown when i shared on my desktop,

3) When shared on iPhone to FB, it was worse. it showed no thumbnail of the featured picture at all, of course i want the same one on desktop,

Hi,

Maybe your featured images don’t have the adequate size. In this topic I found there are some recommendations in terms of size, which Facebook recommends

Test with bigger images if possible.

Use the debugger to see how the shared post looks

I used 720 px featured images, but, anyway i follow your suggestion and change to 1200 px, the biggest size suggested. Now things work well. ! i tried in my post here

Now when i share on mobile devices, it still shows small thumbnails, but when i check the result on facebook, it is a big image.

Thank you Simon, great help.
