Regarding the changes made to X, in my environment, the Android app version has the old display and the web version has the new display, making it possible to compare.
Below is a screenshot of the Android app version displaying the post 'Headline News for October 4, 2023.' The linked image is displayed, and the title of the linked article is displayed below it.
On the other hand, in the new display, only the linked image will be displayed, and the article title will no longer be displayed.
It may look like the image is just being posted, but the linked domain is displayed like a watermark in the bottom left of the image, indicating that it is a link.
Musk has admitted that he recommended the change, with the aim of reducing posts that attract clicks with aesthetic appeal, provocative thumbnail images, or exaggerated titles. It states that.
