Tried to follow this question : Provide a picture for whatsapp link sharing
I have created a simple HTML webpage with the basic Facebook metatags:
<!--FACEBOOK-->
<meta property="og:title" content="San Roque 2014 Pollos" />
<meta property="og:description" content="Programa de fiestas />
<meta property="og:image" content="http://pollosweb.wesped.es/programa_pollos/play.png" />
The Facebook linter validate correctly and in Facebook it shows perfect, but when I try to share by WhatsApp the image doesn't show.
I'm trying it on WhatsApp on Android

There is two kind of code. First meta og:image inside <head>
Thumbnail schema from schema.org inside <body>

I had the same issue and the problem was the size of the picture. Whatsapp doesn't support picture with a size greater than 300KB.
So the most important property to display image on Whatsapp is:
And the size of the image to display must be less than 300KB
I don't know about the minimum number of meta tags required to work on whatsapp, found this in somewhere and this worked for me flawlessly. Note: Image resolution is 256 x 256.
