Nov 14, 2025 - 10:00
Elon Musk has begun rolling out X Chat in beta, replacing Direct Messages with a new encrypted communications system. Aimed at unifying messaging on the platform, X Chat offers end-to-end encryption, file sharing and vanishing messages, with audio and video calling built in. Access requires a four-digit PIN, a move some early users say adds friction. The feature is currently available only to a small test group.
