“In an upcoming release, 𝕏 will overlay the title in the upper portion of the image of a URL card,” The social media platform owner said. However, the headlines will “still overlaid on the image. Every pixel matters,” said Musk.
After the change in October, users had to click or tap on the URL card to actually know the title or read the headline.
