  1. Sharing Content on WhatsApp
    When you share text from a website on WhatsApp, you've probably noticed that the link to the website is automatically added to the end of the message. But why does this happen?

  2. Website Metadata
    The main reason is related to website metadata. Metadata is additional information embedded in the HTML code of a web page that provides details about its content. Websites can specify the metadata they want to display when a user shares their content on social media or messaging apps.

  3. The Role of Meta Tags
    Meta tags are used to define the metadata of a web page. Websites can use specific meta tags, such as "og:url" or "twitter:url", to specify the URL that should be shared when a user shares their content. WhatsApp reads these meta tags to determine which link to add to the end of the message.
