  If you want to share your latest Instagram post on the Twitter timeline too, you're in luck: now when you share a link to an IG post in a Tweet, it'll show up as a card with a preview of the photo. Rolling out on Android, iOS, and web.

  In case anyone has forgotten the background to this, Twitter cut off Instagram support in 2012 — the culmination of a feud that had been going on ever since Instagram turned down Twitter's acquisition offer in favor of being bought by Facebook https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ... …

  This reads as a sad bid to show the world that companies owned by Facebook can in fact be interoperable in light of its recently articulated metaverse ambitions https://twitter.com/...
