The X app – you know, Twitter – for Android is on fire, but a fix is coming

If you’ve been trying to use the Twitter/X app on Android lately, you’ve probably noticed a whole host of issues. Thankfully, a fix is coming soon.

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’t open up. Instead, you’re just met with your main feed.

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.

The Head of product at Twitter/X joked that the app is “on fire” and, yeah, that sums it up nicely.

Thankfully, a fix is in the works. Arkadii Ivanov, a Twitter/X employee working on the Android app, says “a fix will be rolling out soon.” Some claim the latest update fixes the problem.
