OpenGraph iMessage Recommended Image Dimensions Change (iOS 16 & 17)

Has anyone else noticed that as of iOS 16, the prevailing image size minimum recommendation of 1200 x 628 (1.91:1) no longer outputs an image in iMessage?

Since iOS 16, we've found we need to at least double that to 2400 x 1256 for an image to display correctly horizontally.

As of iOS 17, this appears to still be the case, however, we are seeing it cropped to more of a square preview.

Is this expected, or could this be indicative of something wrong with the Open Graph properties in place?

1200 x 628 should be plenty big; can you share a live site that is having trouble?
