Website Display Problems in Social Media Apps: Causes and Solutions



When you browse your favorite social networks and click on a link to a website, the page may not display correctly. This frustrating issue can be caused by various factors related to how social media apps handle external links. In this article, we will examine the reasons for these display problems and provide you with solutions for the most popular social networks.


Facebook:


The Facebook application is designed to optimize the user experience by integrating web links without leaving the application. However, this can sometimes lead to display issues, such as garbled layouts or missing images.


Solution: If you're having trouble viewing Facebook, try copying the link and pasting it directly into the browser of your choice. This ensures that the web page is displayed correctly without the constraints imposed by the application.


You can also go to Facebook settings, media content and check "Links open externally".


Twitter:


Twitter often limits message length and may truncate links to save space. Shortened links can redirect to sites without it being clear what to expect.


Solution: If the link seems garbled or doesn't display correctly on Twitter, copy the link, paste it in an online URL decoder (URL unshortener) to get the full link, then open it in your browser.


LinkedIn:


LinkedIn has its own way of handling external links to load them faster. However, this can sometimes alter the layout of the site you are trying to open.


Solution: If your site link does not open properly in the browser from LinkedIn, copy the link, manually open your Chrome browser (or any other browser of your choice), then paste the link for the best viewing experience.


You can also go to the settings and uncheck "Display links in the application".


Instagram:


Instagram doesn't allow clickable links in post captions, limiting links to verified profiles and the "link in bio" section. It can also lead to a limited browsing experience.


Solution: To share a link from Instagram, update the link in your bio or use third-party services to create a links page, which you can then link to in your bio.


TikTok:

TikTok is focused on short videos, and while it allows sharing links in the bio, it doesn't allow clickable links in video descriptions.


Solution: To take advantage of TikTok, update the link in your bio to direct users to your site. You can also add text on your videos to encourage viewers to hit the link in your bio.


Problems displaying websites in social media applications may be due to user experience optimization, space limitations, or the technologies used by these applications. By using the solutions mentioned for each social network, you can circumvent these issues and enjoy a flawless web browsing experience. If the problems persist, feel free to contact the technical support of the respective app for further assistance.
