Twitter Users Reported About Broken Link Previews
Taking to Twitter, several users reported the problem. While one user said, "Have noticed dropping a Twitter link in a text on an iPhone doesn't generate a preview anymore."
Another posted, "@Twitter is there a problem sending tweets through SMS? They on get a Twitter link but no preview panel/window."
Normally, users can see the tweet in the link preview without clicking. If the tweet contains attachments, the micro-blogging platform additionally provides one image from the tweet.
However, now, a disconnect between Twitter and Apple servers results in tweet URLs that simply read "twitter.com" without any context.
