Telegram not updating link preview from github - telegram

I changed my profile picture on github quite some time ago, but whenever I share a link to any of my repositories via telegram, it still displays old profile pic. If I share it via skype, correct image is displayed.
I tried to use webpage bot and /updatepreview command, it says that "Link previews was updated successfully. Check them out!" but the image is still the same (not updated)!
How can I make telegram clean cache for links from my github account?

I used webpagebot like this answer from another thread to fix my GitHub avatar and it is working for me.
After giving the URL to the bot, I had to push Update with Content.

Have you tried appending /?v=n at the end of the URL when sharing the link? n can be any number but should be increasing after every update you make

Sending a firebase dynamic link over SMS from the desktop page

I have firebase deep links working in my app, and when a user visits them on desktop it takes them to a custom webpage I made that says "This content is only available on the app. Please download it to continue" with app store links for my app.
I want to add a form that says "enter your phone number to get texted the link to download the app" and I have no issues doing that with twilio.
Where I'm stuck is that I want to SMS the original deep link to the user. But the firebase deep link system already redirected me to the desktop page so I don't have access to the deep link anymore. Is there any way to get the original deep link?
I do have the path of the original deep link in the URL so I could possibly reconstruct it? But is there an easier way, or an existing solution to my problem of wanting to get users to install our app without losing the deep link context?
If you create your originally link manually you can use the Other Platform Parameters ofl to send a parameter of the dynamic link to be sent in text message to the desktop users.
See the doc's on how to manually create your link.
Alternatively, in the past I've added a parameter to the short link which has been passed through to the webapp, maybe you could use that to pass the dynamic link. Not tested, but should have the desired effect.

WordPress Facebook comments error "Can't download"

I want Facebook comments on my images on WordPress. I'm using the Social Gallery Lite plugin for WordPress. It shows a comment lightbox for each image.
I have two problems:
The comments are not appearing in my moderation tool / I'm not getting notifications of new comments
Every time I add a new comment, I get an errormessage saying "Can't download", nothing more. When I refresh, the comment is added. When I add another comment on the same image, I don't get any errors. When I add another comment on another image, I get the error again.
This is what I did:
installed and acitvated the plugin
created a new app on facebook
copy pasted the APP ID in my plugin
made sure that I am the admin of the app
published the app (not even sure if this was necessary)
Am I missing a step?
Not really a coding related question here. So possibly on the wrong forum, best asked on the Wordpress community.
However, will attempt an answer here, it would seem that on the plugin itself does not need a facebook app to be created screenshot for app ID, it has a native app to do that. What you need to do is to provide your admin ID to the plugin to access your comments screenshot for admin access.

Remove/delete Firebase dynamic links

I have created the dynamic links using Firebase console. But there are no option to remove or delete or edit options.
I want to delete dynamic links from the console. Any help appreciate.
This is not possible.
Deleting links would be a problem since that could lead to broken data and user experiences. At Branch.io (full disclosure: I'm on the Branch team), we don't allow link deletion either (you can 'Archive' the link to get it off the screen, but that does not make the URL inactive).
Firebase probably prevents editing for the same reason. At Branch, we do allow editing of everything except the link URL (since that would be effectively deleting the link).
Google just added the edit and archive feature. You can check that out in the Firebase console
You can only archive the link but the link will still work, but it will no longer be displayed on the Firebase console.
If you desperately wanted to delete it, what you can do is delete the URL prefix and associated links; all dynamic links and analytics associated with that domain are permanently deleted.

Google+ deep linking

The docs here https://developers.google.com/+/mobile/android/share/deep-link seem to be hopelessly out of date, as I cannot find any of the mentioned (like "Edit settings").
Can somebody provide some guidance on how to make a deep link to my app work from within a Google+ post?
e.g., I would expect a link such as "appname://?id=12345678" to be a clickable thing that directs the user either to install the app or opens the installed app and takes the user directly to the content specified by the id. Instead, this link is posted as plain text...
Moreover, will I need to fight with every social network to get deep links to work properly? Does anybody have any experience making this sort of thing work on Twitter, Facebook, etc?
We are developing with Meteor, and using the Cordova cordova-plugin-x-socialsharingplugin https://github.com/EddyVerbruggen/SocialSharing-PhoneGap-Plugin
You may want to try using App Invites, which either will let the app receive data from the invitation if the app is already installed (e.g. a coupon) or will install the app.

how to link to an official account from the built-in browser

From an official account main menu view I can provide a URL and it will open in the built in WeChat browser.
Is there a way to close the browser and come back to the main account menu?
I don't want to have the user hit the [X] button each time.
Is there a standard URL format for an official account that can be used as a link to open the account from a browser?
In short, there's no way to do that.
In early days, there are some hacking ways to do this, but now they are all not working any more.
You can put a qrcode image of your account on your site for users to scan and follow you.
