Elon Musk's "Western WeChat" is about to launch

Glonghui, April 12 | On April 11 local time in the United States, X Platform’s social app XChat officially announced that it will be launched on the App Store on April 17. The app highlights end-to-end encryption, no ads, and no tracking. Since the start of its internal testing in May 2023, XChat has undergone nearly a year of testing and iteration. If counting from the moment Musk acquired Twitter in 2022 and set out to build a “Western version of WeChat,” it has been nearly four years.
