Mod PSA about posting Tweets

[UNCrules2187]

Just tried testing out myself. Other iPhone users, do you get this issue? No matter which way I try to copy the link from the iOS app, I always get an X link which refuses to embed. The only solution I’ve found that works is opening the link in Chrome/Safari and then copying the actual URL (which is a Twitter.com URL) from the URL bar. If I try to copy link from the actual tweet itself even within the mobile browser, it gives me an X link. Pretty annoying.

Yeah, there is no way to do this from the X app.

There is only one way to get a link and it doesn’t embed.

So I can get it to work if I open X in a browser and click ‘embed’ and grab that link.

Correct. We have to grab it from the website, not the app.

Weird I can still just select copy link from my iphone twitter app and it works fine. Maybe because I haven't updated my Twitter app since the X thing happened? I don't have auto updates on for any apps. So does your app icon have the X logo now? Mine still says Twitter with the bird logo

Embedding works, you just have to be patient. Make sure you wait for the tweet to load before you hit submit:

 

Wait for it...

 

 

Give the Hamsters a chance to spin up.

To share a link from the twitter app itself, go to the post itself instead of sharing from the timeline. Sharing from the timeline gives you an 'x' link, whereas sharing from the post itself gives you a 'twitter' link.

I don't have the app but it's what a friend of mine told me he had to do on discord.

You've cracked the magicians code

For $66 billion you’d think they’d have these kinks worked out after a year.

Worst rebranding disaster in internet history

(Way worse than O.co and that was also a huge disaster).

Yours will work as it does now until they force an update. Once you lose Twitter and it becomes X in iPhone your links won’t work.

Bumping this because it is officially retweet season with the coaching craziness.

What's this X everyone is talking about?

Interesting. Even in his screenshot it’s a twitter link, not X. Folks who paste the X links have been the loudest about it not working. 

IDK. I copy and paste the links all the time and it always works for me.
