X has launched a stand-alone XChat messaging app for iOS, offering messaging, file sharing, and audio/video calls with privacy features like message editing and screenshot blocking. This represents a shift from Elon Musk's original 'everything app' vision toward a suite of dedicated apps. The launch follows beta testing and is part of X's strategy to expand beyond social networking into messaging and payments.
Background
X (formerly Twitter) has been expanding beyond its core social networking service under Elon Musk's ownership, with plans to become an 'everything app' offering multiple services in one platform.
