🔐 Key features include end-to-end “Bitcoin-style” encryption, disappearing messages, voice and video calls, the ability to send all types of files, and communication without a phone number.
💻 According to Musk, the messenger is built using the Rust programming language, which is intended to ensure the product’s stability and security.
🧪 XChat is currently undergoing beta testing. Future updates will include chat passwords, support for group conversations, and a feature to mark unread messages.
🌐 The announcement sparked active discussion online — users are asking Musk for more technical details about the “Bitcoin encryption” and the benefits of Rust. Meanwhile, the X team continues working on the idea of creating a “universal app for everything.”
