Problem sharing product links on X

I've just noticed something... When I share a product link (where my affiliate link is also attached) on X/Twitter...

(1) Everything works fine when I click on the link in the tweet IN A WEB BROWSER.

(2) When clicking on the same link in the X *app* (Android version), clicking on the link opens a blank page that doesn't load the product page. If X users are primarily using the app, then THIS IS A HUGE DEAL-BREAKER.

Anyone else experiencing this? I guess my only work-around would be to have product pages on my WordPress blog leading to the actual products, and then share the blog pages on Twitter. But making potential customers jump through more hoops isn't usually a great idea.

Here's one of my tweets with this problem if anyone wants to test...

I'm on a laptop and when I visit your twitter link, there doesn't appear to be any 'link' back to Zazzle?

 

Sorry for the delayed response. For some reason the notification emails community is supposed to be sending aren't getting to me. That original link seems to have been deleted but they ALL have the same problem. Here's one that goes to a collection instead of a product...

Ironically, when I put products/collections on Pinterest Pins and then share the Pin, X doesn't seem to have a problem with that...

Your x link is for a collection hence directs to collection? This is the link you shared to X
