X temporarily restored headlines to posts with links

• After X removed headlines from posts, users needed to click the image to see the title.
• Some critics claimed the move caused confusion by obscuring where a linked image would direct users.

The big picture: Musk promised in late November that an "upcoming release" would bring back headlines by featuring them overlaid on the image of the URL card.

• Posts on the platform with links once again feature headlines, though they appear differently than they did before.
• With the temporary change Tuesday, a headline appeared in small text at the bottom of the image on a URL card on a desktop.

Between the lines: The change on Tuesday did not roll out to the iOS app, and on Android headlines continue to appear under the image — the way they did before, per The Verge.

• When reached by Axios, X said it was not yet available to comment at the time.
