Steps to replicate the issue (include links if applicable):
- On social media, for instance LINE, share a picture
What happens?:
The link preview generated is of the site logo, not the picture!
What should have happened instead?:
The link preview should be of the picture not the logo.
Software version (on Special:Version page; skip for WMF-hosted wikis like Wikipedia):

Yes you might say it's the responsibility of the social media to pick the right preview.
But the preview is based on the metadata in the File: page.
In this case the site logo is a picture of the same person but many many years ago.
Which creates an extreme misunderstanding!
You might say that user has a responsibility to double check if things turned out right.
But many share operations you just share it and you don't go back to double-check because you trust it.
Anyway below the picture is the file name and indeed the first picture is the first JPG in the file.
But it's not the main JPG.
This is just a time bomb waiting to explode even worse.
