The much-publicised deal was all that the tech world could talk about and shortly after Musk took charge of the micro-blogging website, he made various changes to the company.

Earlier this year, Twitter was rebranded as X and we were all surprised. Even Twitter's headquarters now sport a giant X.

The platform now allows you to do a lot more than just expressing your opinion in a few characters. It lets you publish longer tweets, up to 2 hours of videos, stream your gameplay and a lot more.

In October, headlines of links shared on X had started disappearing from the platform. Musk had earlier said that this would improve the aesthetic value of each post. However, these headlines are all set to re-appear.

As of now, whenever you share a link on X, its headline won't appear and just the feature image will pop up. Earlier, X used to display headlines automatically along with the image. Now that Musk is bringing headlines back with a twist, it will be interesting to see how it plays out.
