Since of 2 days ago , I have been experiencing an issue where song links that I copied from Spotify and pasted into telegram no longer open a preview like they used to. Before this bug occurred when I pasted a song link from Spotify, it would display the song name , album art , artist name , release date and etc, but now it only displays "Spotify"(As seen in the image attached). Please fix this bug , or let me know if its a problem on my end. Thanks in advance.
Steps to reproduce
1.Go to Spotify , go over to any song , right click on the song title , hover over "Share" , and copy the song link.
2.Go to any chat on Telegram , and paste it.
3.Link preview does not appear as it used to :(
Device info
Telegram Desktop 3.4.3 x64, Vostro 15-3568, Windows 10
Apparently, even when removing the "?si=...", the preview isn't always shown. I couldn't find out when exactly it shows and when not. It behaves in an unclear and unexpected manner. Please fix this

PLEASE FIX THIS, we shouldn't bother removing nothing. Whatsapp has no problems with any links, but we don't want to go back to Zap, aren't we? :D

Still having this issue. This is significantly affecting my experience of using the app and Im sure I ain't the only one. I share a lot of music and people not being able to see art work or song title or the Spotify branding makes the sharing much less fun. Please fix guys, I love this application and hope you can get to this soon
I believe if you simply remove the parameters after the url (everything starting with the “?” and after), that the link preview will appear. It’s silly and wrong to make users do this manually, but it works better than a screenshot imo.

Example link, with preview not working:

When removing everything including and after the "?si=", the preview is shown. Example link with working preview:

So annoying to add screenshots
