"X Reinstates Headlines in Link Previews Amid User Backlash, with a Twist"

TL;DR Summary
Twitter, referred to as Twitter/X in the article, briefly reintroduced headlines to link previews on its web client, displaying them in a small format on the image preview. However, the feature was quickly removed after negative public response, and it's uncertain if it will return. The headlines had been removed previously but were brought back after a context-less post by Elon Musk highlighted the issue with not having them. The change was web-only, with the Android app maintaining the original headline format and plans for iOS expansion unconfirmed.
