Thankfully, a fix is coming soon.<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"more-712571\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Over the past few days, the Twitter\/X app for Android has been left with some of its core functions inoperable. Opening links either pops up a menu to choose between two Twitter\/X apps, or the link itself just doesn\u2019t open up. Instead, you\u2019re just met with your main feed.<\/p>\n<p>This is a widespread issue, and it has a big impact on the app. Trying to open links or embeds from websites in the Twitter\/X app never opens the actual content, and the same occurs with notifications. If you tap on a notification from the app, the app simply opens without directing itself to whatever the notification was for.<\/p>\n<p>The Head of product at Twitter\/X joked that the app is \u201con fire\u201d and, yeah, that sums it up nicely.<\/p>\n<p>\t<span class=\"outbrain-ad-label\">Advertisement &#8211; scroll for more content<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Thankfully, a fix is in the works. Arkadii Ivanov, a Twitter\/X employee working on the Android app, says \u201ca fix will be rolling out soon.\u201d Some claim the latest update fixes the problem.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Follow Ben:<\/strong>\u00a0Twitter\/X,\u00a0Threads, Bluesky, and\u00a0Instagram<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"google-preferred-source-badge-dark\" src=\"https:\/\/9to5google.com\/wp-content\/themes\/ninetofive\/dist\/images\/google-preferred-source-badge-dark.png\" alt=\"Add 9to5Google as a preferred source on Google\"\/><br \/>\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"google-preferred-source-badge-light\" src=\"https:\/\/9to5google.com\/wp-content\/themes\/ninetofive\/dist\/images\/google-preferred-source-badge-light.png\" alt=\"Add 9to5Google as a preferred source on Google\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"disclaimer-affiliate\">FTC: We use income earning auto affiliate links.
