Overview
- X announced the rebuilt Android app on Monday, July 20, and began rolling it out to users through the Google Play Store.
- The company says the app was rebuilt from scratch over nearly a year on a Kotlin and Jetpack Compose codebase to make the code easier to maintain.
- X reports faster loading, smoother scrolling, improved notification handling, and greater overall reliability compared with the old Android app.
- X warns there are still rough edges and is working to boost performance on older devices and add missing features such as Spaces, Video Editor, react‑with‑video, cashtags, and custom timelines.
- X positions the relaunch as a way to close the long Android/iOS gap and to deliver features more quickly to Android users, which could matter most in Android‑dominant global markets.
