Do I have to remove all the meta tag from index.html file? Or Helmet simply will overwrite everything?
I tried to do the basic example and it works, but when I copy and paste the link in Whatsapp or slack it still show the react logo and the description "website created with react etc..."

Did you ever get a response to this question or got a way around it ? I am desperately in need of this solution

No, I did not but if you are using create-react-app it won't work. You need gatsby o nextJS to make it work because they are SSR Server-Side-Rendering and that kind of things I was looking for it works only with SSR.
