Hi there!

I hope you're doing well. It sounds like you're having trouble with PDF files on WhatsApp not showing a preview. Here are some simple steps to fix this for both iOS and Android:

1. Update WhatsApp: Make sure you have the latest version of WhatsApp. Updates often fix these issues.
2. Download the PDF: Ensure the PDF is fully downloaded. Previews might not show if the file isn't completely downloaded.
3. Send a Copy: Instead of sharing the PDF directly, use the "Send a Copy" option. This might help generate the preview.
4. Check File Size: If the PDF is too large, WhatsApp might not show a preview. Try sharing a smaller file.
5. Reinstall WhatsApp: As a last resort, uninstall and reinstall WhatsApp. This can sometimes fix unexpected issues.

If none of these steps work, you can also contact WhatsApp support for more help.

I hope this helps!

Unfortunately all these steps do not work. Any other ways?
