I've just tried to share this link to a friend over WhatsApp. WhatsApp will NOT show a link preview for it, like it does for all other URLs.

Is WhatsApp blocking link previews for Google services?

No, it's just a poorly constructed website that doesn't have any machine-readable summary, and doesn't even conform to their own guidelines about machine-readable summaries. At least the marketing page for this product gives you a realistic impression of how the customer experience will be...

I'm not sure about that. Even basic sites with only the 'title' tag set, still create a popup in WhatsApp, albeit with just the title text (obviously).

Come on
