Elon Musk’s X (formerly Twitter) has launched a new stand-alone messaging app on iOS devices, called XChat. This app will help users connect their existing X contacts for calling, chatting, and sharing files. This move shows how Musk’s previous idea of creating a single ‘everything app’ seems to shift to a different strategy now.This newly launched app comes with features such as audio and video calling, text messaging, group chats, and file sharing. Moreover, it features privacy-focused tools like disappearing messages, the option to delete and edit messages for everyone, and a feature that blocks screenshots. Looking at these features, the XChat seems to take on WhatsApp and Messenger. This app is currently available to iOS users only, and more updates are expected in the near future, as teased by the X’s lead designer, Benji Taylor. Do you think that Elon is copying WhatsApp messenger ?
