What is XChat? Owned and led by X (formerly Twitter), owned by Elon Musk. Launch: April 2026 (iOS first, Android later). Goal: To become a separate messaging app, directly competing with WhatsApp, Signal, and Telegram. A crucial step in transforming X into an "everything app" (a super app like WeChat). Key Features: End-to-end encryption — Elon advertises it as the "most secure," using Bitcoin-style encryption. No phone number required, only an X account. Chat, voice/video calls, send any file, vanishing messages. No ads, no tracking. Direct Grok AI integration (you can ask Grok questions in chat). Standalone app (separate from the main X app). It's completely rebuilt using Rust with a new architecture to support strong encryption. In short: XChat is entirely a product of Elon (under X), part of the same ecosystem as Grok, X, etc. It's currently trending but there's also debate about its actual security compared to Signal. #Xchat @elonmusk@chat
