"The app is simply called "Chat" and sells itself on privacy - it promises end-to-end encryption (E2EE) for chats and file sharing, disappearing messages, a feature that blocks screenshots and more. You can edit and delete sent messages. X promises "No ads. No tracking. Total privacy." This is a fully-featured messenger with support for voice and video calls. A voice memo feature is in the works too, allowing users to send pre-recorded voice messages."
"The protection isn't perfect, though - the About Encrypted Direct Messages help page notes: "Currently, we do not offer protections against man-in-the-middle attacks. As a result, if someone-a malicious insider or X itself as a result of a compulsory legal process-were to compromise an encrypted conversation, neither the sender or receiver would know." This is a significant issue for E2EE apps. X claims that it is working on a new mechanism with which "man-in-the-middle attacks should be difficult, if not impossible.""
X launched Chat, a privacy-focused messaging app offering end-to-end encryption for chats and file sharing, disappearing messages, screenshot blocking, and message editing and deletion. The app offers voice and video calls, with a voice memo feature planned to send pre-recorded messages. X markets Chat with "No ads. No tracking. Total privacy." The service currently lacks protections against man-in-the-middle attacks and cannot detect compromises from malicious insiders or compulsory legal processes. X says it is developing a mechanism to make man-in-the-middle attacks difficult and to alert senders and recipients. Chat is available on iOS and web; Android is coming.
