Embeds on Telegram

Can I embed tweets on Telegram without “Instant View” button under my post with alternate Fxtwitter link? This is not a critical issue, just asking

Currently, Instant View is only enabled by default if certain conditions are met or you force enable it (i.fxtwitter.com). If I may ask, what purpose do you have disablng Instant View?

Sometimes I share tweets with a very short message, and the “Instant View” button looks unnecessary and strange. Although when sharing large posts with more than one picture or thread that won't fit in the preview, “Instant View” can be useful. Unfortunately, Telegram does not yet allow you to disable this yourself at will.

Out of curiosity, is the post in question one with an image? Recently, we force-enabled Instant View on posts with images because Telegram broke the ability to view images from embeds without opening the browser. (Though it still works on Telegram for Mac and Telegram Desktop added a button to preview images), so Instant View functions as a way to view images without opening the browser on iOS and Android.
