How to Fix Links Not Opening or Working in X (Twitter) App

Ankita enjoys exploring and writing about technology. Starting as a script and copywriter, her keen interest in the digital world pulled her towards technology. With GT, she has found her calling in writing about and simplifying the world of tech for others. On any given day, you can catch her chained to her laptop, meeting deadlines, writing scripts, and watching shows (any language!).

Basic Fixes:

Fix 1: Use In-App Browser

Instead of choosing other browsers to open links, try opening the link within the X app itself. To do that, tap on the relevant link in the X app and wait for it to open in the in-app browser.

Surfing in incognito mode allows you to browse without storing your browser’s cookies and cache, enabling the browser to load a fresh page copy. This can help fix issues like links not working on the X app, especially if you can’t use the in-app browser. Here’s how to do it.

Step 1:Open theX appand go to therelevant tweet. Tap on thelinkyou want to open.

Step 2:Then, tap on themenu iconat the top right corner. Tap onCopy link.

Note:If this is unavailable, long-press the link and copy it to the clipboard instead.

Step 3:Open your browser in incognito mode. Long-press the browsersearch barand tap onPaste & Go.

Fix 3: Clear X App Cache

App caches contain temporary data used to ensure their smooth running. However, if this cache gets corrupted, it can cause the app to glitch. So, if you can’t open links from the X app,clearing the app cachecan help fix it. Here’s how to do it on your Android device.

Tip:iPhone users canoffload the X appto do the same.

Step 1:OpenSettingsand tap onApps. Scroll down and tap onX.

Step 2:Here, tap onStorage>Clear cache.

Fix 4: Sign Out and Sign in to X

If you still can’t open the links in the X (Twitter) app, signing out and signing back into the app might help. This will refresh your account information and fix any other app-related errors as well. Follow the below steps to do it.

Step 1:OpenX> tap on yourprofile icon> tap onSettings and Support.

Step 2:Once the options expand, tap onSettings and privacy.

Step 3:Here, tap onYour account>Account information.

Step 4:Tap onLog outand confirm the action, if prompted.

You will now be logged out of your X account. Then, close and reopen the X app and log in to your account. Try opening a link to see if the issue has been fixed.
