Identified

We have received multiple reports today of Facebook not showing a thumbnail image, or the wrong image, for links shared in posts on Facebook pages.
We can confirm this issue is not specific to Aiir or Aiir's customers. For example, the same thing can be seen for Sky News (not an Aiir customer) on their page: https://www.facebook.com/skynews
We appreciate this is frustrating, but as the issue is not caused by Aiir's products or any changes we have made, we can only await a resolution from Facebook themselves.
