P: Restore thumbnail preview images for shared Lightroom Mobile album links in email/Messages
I regularly share Lightroom Mobile albums using the “Copy Link” option, then paste those links into Apple Mail or Messages. Until recently, these links generated a rich preview card with the album’s thumbnail image. This was extremely useful for recipients — it provided a visual cue, improved engagement, and made the link more attractive.
As of sometime after April 30, 2024, this behavior changed. Now the same type of Lightroom share link (adobe.ly/...) only generates a generic Adobe Photoshop Lightroom card with a blue background and "Lr" logo, no album image.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Share an album from Lightroom Mobile.
2. Copy the share link (adobe.ly/...).
3. Paste into Apple Mail or Messages on iPad, iPhone, or Mac.
4. Observe the generic card instead of a rich preview with thumbnail.
Expected behavior:
When a Lightroom Mobile share link is pasted into Apple Mail, Messages, or other apps that support link previews, the card should display the album’s thumbnail as it did previously.
Why this matters:
Rich previews with thumbnails make shared albums more visually engaging and increase the likelihood recipients will click. The current generic link looks uninviting and could be mistaken for spam.
Please restore the Open Graph (og:image, og:title, etc.) metadata on Lightroom share pages so link unfurling works again across email and messaging apps.
