Elon Musk<\/strong> has launched the new messaging feature XChat in beta<\/strong> on the X platform, as part of his vision to transform X. This innovation allows users to make voice and video calls without requiring a phone number.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

XChat<\/strong> is developed using the Rust programming language and employs a Bitcoin<\/strong><\/a>-like encryption architecture. This provides users with high-level digital security and privacy. Users protect their messages with a four-digit PIN and can set them to auto-delete after a certain period. Additionally, features such as file sharing and group chats are also available.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYou can make voice\/video calls without a phone number across all platforms.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Currently in beta, XChat<\/strong> is available only to X Premium subscribers but is planned to be rolled out to all users in the future. This move is seen as part of Musk\u2019s goal to turn the X platform into an \u201ceverything app<\/strong>.\u201d\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

All new XChat is rolling out with encryption, vanishing messages and the ability to send any kind of file. Also, audio\/video calling. <\/p>\n

This is built on Rust with (Bitcoin style) encryption, whole new architecture.<\/p>\n
