X, formerly known as Twitter, has rolled out a change in its iOS app that removes headlines from articles and web pages shared via URL. Now, users only see the lead image and domain name, making it tough to figure out the content of the shared link. The decision comes straight from the company's owner Elon Musk, who wants to boost user engagement and inspire journalists to post content directly on X.
