Hey everyone! I’m looking for a Telegram bot that can automatically change regular Twitter (X) links into vx or fx format links. You know how when you replace the regular twitter.com with vxtwitter.com in a URL, it shows much better previews with images and videos right in the chat? That’s exactly what I need.
I’m getting tired of tapping Twitter links in my Telegram chats on mobile and then waiting for the Twitter app to open slowly. After checking the tweet, I have to switch back to Telegram again. It’s really annoying and wastes time. If there’s a bot that can do this conversion automatically, it would save me so much trouble. Has anyone found something like this?
not sure if a bot exists, but you can try making a phone shortcut to swap those links automatically. it’s probably way quicker than searching for a specific bot lol.
I use @FixTweetBot for this - works great. It automatically spots Twitter/X links in group chats and replies with the fxtwitter version that shows proper previews. Best part? No spam - only converts links when someone needs the preview. I’ve run it in three group chats for 4 months with zero issues. Setup’s easy: add it to your chat and give admin rights to read messages. Handles both old twitter.com and new x.com links. Way better than browser extensions since those break with Telegram’s mobile browser.
There’s a simpler way than building custom automations. I use a browser extension called “Link Redirector” that handles this automatically everywhere, including Telegram shares. Just set up a rule redirecting twitter.com and x.com to vxtwitter.com - works seamlessly. Way better than bots since it processes links before they hit Telegram. No bot permissions or reliability headaches. Set mine up 6 months ago, haven’t touched it since. Works for any social platform with preview services, not just Twitter. Check if your mobile browser has something similar if that’s what you mainly use.
i found a simple js snippet that converts twitter/x urls to vx format in secs. just paste the link and bam, it’s done! way quicker than installing bots or extensions. super handy for chat.
Had the same issue with Twitter links killing my dev channels.
Built a quick automation that catches Twitter/X URLs and converts them to vxtwitter automatically. Takes 5 minutes to setup.
It watches for twitter.com or x.com links, swaps them to vxtwitter.com, and drops the new link in chat. No more app switching or waiting for Twitter to load.
Just use Telegram webhooks with URL manipulation. Way better than hunting for bots that might disappear.
Set it once and forget it. Mine’s been running months without problems.
