Introduction

This tip shows you how to update and get the latest the facebook link preview if it is showing previous info from cache

Solution

The facebook cache is updated every 24 hours, if you want to manually clear the cache you can use the URL debug tool at https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug and enter the url in the required field in the page that comes up. This will help you to get latest update about an url you are trying to post in fb so that it may show the right preview.
