Instagram bringing back support for Twitter Card previews. With this new feature, Instagram links share on Twitter will show a small preview of the link that includes an image instead of just the URL.
The preview will let users have a look at the Instagram post without opening the link.
When users share an Instagram link on Twitter, it will display a preview similar to how most articles and other media appear on the microblogging platform.
This feature has started rolling out on Android, iOS, and the Web.
Both Instagram and Twitter on 3rd November 2021 announce the update via tweets.
They said it would never happen… Twitter Card previews start rolling out TODAY. 👀
