X is bringing back a feature it should never have scrapped

X app on iPhone 14 Pro Max.

X, the social network formerly known as Twitter, has backtracked on one of its most controversial feature changes. In August, Elon Musk announced that the service would stop showing the titles of linked pages in X posts because Musk didn't like the look of them. Critics pointed out that the move would make linked content effectively useless, but Musk ignored them – and now he's announced that the titles are coming back, presumably because he now understands that they made linked content effectively useless.

As with most Musk feature announcements there's no indication of when this will happen or any indication of what the feature will look like when it returns. He's simply posted that "in an upcoming release, X will overlay title in the upper potion [sic] of the image of a URL card."
