Elon Musk has announced the launch of XChat, a new messaging service on X featuring end-to-end encryption and disappearing messages.
The tool includes audio and video calling and allows users to communicate without linking a phone number.
XChat is built on a new architecture using the Rust programming language and offers Bitcoin-style encryption for enhanced data protection.
The beta version is currently available to a small group of testers, with no confirmed release timeline for a wider launch.
XChat aligns with Musk's vision of transforming X into an "everything app," supporting messaging, payments, and more.
