Elon Musk has confirmed this week that X will soon be rolling out it’s own messaging service, titled ‘XChat’.
Available to all X paying users and premium subscribers as of this week, XChat is built on a new back-end architecture on the platform, enabling X to become more robust. The new chat feature will be fully encrypted by default, have disappearing messages up to four weeks to protect privacy, allow for users to send files to others and also conduct audio and video calls without the need for a phone number.
