Will Instagram and Twitter finally bury the hatchet?
In any case, a first step towards a possible reconciliation has just been taken.
In a publication posted Wednesday, November 3 on its Twitter account, Instagram indeed announces the return of the preview of its publications in tweets, reports

Clearly, tweeters will no longer have to click on the link to access the content by being redirected to Insta.
They said it would never happen… Twitter Card previews start rolling out TODAY.

Followers of low blows
It's a small revolution as the conflict between the two social networks seemed insoluble.
Since the takeover of Instagram by Facebook (or rather Meta now) in 2012, the low blows have multiplied.
Twitter initially blocked its API to prevent Instagram users from logging into their Twitter account to find their friends.
Instagram had therefore retaliated by blocking the preview of these posts on Twitter.
Facebook is therefore now backtracking.
