No image previews when sharing a link

    Hello.

    I have been looking online and no success, unfortunately. I have the first version of my website up and running, but when I share my links to the main page or posts, it does not create a nice Image + Text + link.

    I found some strange code I needed to add to functions.php, but that only worked half of the timer and only on Facebook.

    
function wpb_autolink_featured_images( $html, $post_id, $post_image_id ) {
$html = '<a href="' . get_permalink( $post_id ) . '" title="' . esc_attr( get_the_title( $post_id ) ) . '">' . $html . '</a>';
return $html;
}
add_filter( 'post_thumbnail_html', 'wpb_autolink_featured_images', 10, 3 );

    when I share my link in WhatsApp, Telegram, Twitter, only Link is shared and preview + description never loads.

    Is there a plugin to enable that?

    Example of what I am missing (Telegram example, but appliess top any media):
