"XChat allows users to connect with their X contacts for messaging, file sharing, audio and video calls, as well as group chats, enhancing user engagement."
"The app offers privacy features, including the ability to edit and delete messages for everyone in the chat, support for disappearing messages, and the ability to block screenshots."
"Security experts have previously disputed the company's encryption claims, warning that XChat appears to be less secure than other encrypted messaging apps like Signal."
XChat, X's new standalone messaging app, launched for iOS, allowing users to connect with X contacts for messaging, file sharing, and calls. Initially tested with beta users, XChat is part of a broader strategy to diversify services beyond social networking. The app includes privacy features like message editing, disappearing messages, and screenshot blocking. Despite claims of end-to-end encryption, security experts have raised concerns about its security compared to other apps. The app aims to enhance user engagement with X's services while moving away from the original 'everything app' concept.
