The issue first surfaced on August 19, when older Twitter images started to mysteriously disappear from the microblogging website.

Speculation has arisen, with some suggesting that the glitch might have been triggered during the transition of the company's domains from Twitter.com to X.com

X, formerly known as Twitter, says it’s working to restore images and links that suddenly and rather mysteriously disappeared from the platform in recent days.

Even the famous selfie from Ellen DeGeneres on Twitter was affected - but it was fixed. But not for most people.

The company announced that the bug didn't actually delete anything, it just biffed the way some data was displayed on the platform.

X, the company formerly known as Twitter, has fixed a bug that prevented images posted prior to 2014 from displaying.

X isnt rendering pictures and links on posts made before December 2014. I lost years worth of links and images. Did you?

The app formerly known as Twitter has fixed a bug that stopped users from seeing images prior to 2014.

X, formerly known as Twitter, has a glitch affecting posts made prior to December 2014, resulting in the disappearance of media elements and hyperlinks. The issue, believed to be a technical mishap, may be linked to the websites implementation of enhanced URL enrichment in 2016. Reports suggest the glitch only affects content that has media elements and hyperlinks, particularly those previously shortened by Xs built-in URL shortener.

If you have posted beloved photos to Twitter (now known as X), you may want to check they still exist.
