X launches Chat app with end-to-end encryption | Infinium-tech

X (Twitter at the time) launched encrypted DMs in mid-2023 – now the company is expanding this functionality and launching it as a full-fledged chat application.

The app is called simply “Chat” and it sells itself on privacy – it promises end-to-end encryption (E2EE) for chat and file sharing, disappearing messages, a feature that blocks screenshots, and more. You can edit and delete sent messages. X promises “No ads. No tracking. Complete privacy.”

X’s new chat app

It is a full-featured messenger with support for voice and video calls. A voice memo feature is also in the works, allowing users to send pre-recorded voice messages.

However, security is not perfect – About Encrypted Direct Messages help page Note: “Currently, we do not provide protection against human-mediated attacks. As a result, if someone – a malicious insider or X himself as a result of mandatory legal process – compromises an encrypted conversation, neither the sender nor the receiver will know.”

This is an important issue for E2EE apps. X claims that it is working on a new mechanism with which “man-in-the-middle attacks should become difficult, if not impossible.” Also, “both the sender and the receiver must remain alert in the event of an attack.”

The chat app is now available on iOS and via web browser. An Android app is coming soon.

Say hello to chat – the brand new secure messaging on X.
