Under normal performance, tapping on the X notification should directly open the specific profile or post. The X app should follow the “open by default” setting of Android, allowing users to navigate to the content directly. But this is currently not the case for many users.New reportsindicate that users are now experiencing a significant bug, in which X notifications appear with an annoying ‘open with’ prompt.
The issue started a few days ago. Affected users said opening the notifications asks them to open with X or …X. Anyone familiar with this prompt will tell you it only pops up when a notification can open with multiple applications. Of course, this is never the case for X notifications.
An affected user,@ohmbbs, said:“@X Genuinely, what do you expect me to choose here? I’m just trying to open a twt. notification.”Why show this unnecessary prompt when thenotification can just open directly? This is one question that many users are now asking.
It’s hard to explain exactly why the x notifications are popping up with the “open with” prompt. However, according to industry experts, a good explanation is that Android currently confuses various versions of the X app. This explains why it’s displaying “open with” X or X. These apps are the standard X app and the newly released app for Android build. Android is basically registering the apps differently.
For now, there are no direct workarounds to address this issue. However,according to Grok, one troubleshooting step that may work is clearing the cache and data. To do this, follow these steps:
After these steps, all you need is to force stop the app and restart it. But if this fails to address the issue, it’s likely a server-side bug. This means you’ll have to wait for the X team to roll out a fix to address the “open with” bug on X notifications.
