X Add title to article link again – but the text is small

After removing captions from URL cards on X (formerly Twitter), the platform is adding them back – but they don’t quite work the same way as before.some of us in edge People on the web see headlines and website title pages now appear above the images that link to those pages, making it easier to know what you’re clicking on.

It’s a nice change, but there are still some quirks. For example, if the title or caption is too long, it will be truncated by an ellipsis and the text will be very small. But this is an improvement over the way it worked in the past, where an image only included the domain of the website it linked to.

X stopped showing headlines last year because owner Elon Musk thought it would make posts look better. Removing the title does make the post smaller, but it’s hard to know where it will take you when you click on the linked image, which means one has to resort to workarounds like adding the title directly to the image or including the title in the post’s in the text.

Musk promised in November that URL cards would be back in the headlines In “Upcoming releases”, Changes appear to be starting to unfold. I haven’t seen it on the iOS app yet, but I’m guessing it will eventually.On Android, Headlines still works as before forward All these changes – they still appear under Image – So it’s unclear if or when this change will be rolled out there.
