He wrote, "X has rolled out a new communication platform with encrypted messages, audio/video calls, and file transfers." Elon Musk also hinted that X Money will be launched soon, with the aim of making X the everything app.
XChat Features
- XChat is positioned as a new approach to secure messaging with a focus on privacy. All chats on the messaging platform will be end-to-end encrypted, including file sharing. This will ensure that no one other than the sender and receiver will be able to access the messages.
- Additionally, Elon Musk's new messaging service will allow users to edit, delete, and make messages disappear after sending them. The disappearing messages feature is similar to WhatsApp's disappearing messages, where users can set a timer for when a chat will automatically delete itself.
- To ensure that your chats remain private, users will also have the ability to disable screenshots, meaning no one will be able to take a screenshot of your chat. Additionally, you can enable notifications for direct messages and group chats, which will alert you if someone tries to take a screenshot. This feature is currently not available on WhatsApp.
- Additionally, XChat promises no ads and no tracking of user data. This means your data will be completely safe with this new service.
How to use X Chat
The app is currently available for iOS users and via the web, and can be accessed by going to the DM section of X. The company says the messaging platform will soon be available on Android as well.
