Overview
- Early access is live for many users who can view the new panel on their own profiles by tapping the Joined date, while visibility on others’ profiles is still limited.
- The panel displays where an account is based, the original join date, username change history, and how the app was obtained, such as via the App Store or Google Play.
- Users can choose to show a broader region instead of a specific country in settings under Privacy and Safety, though country remains the default.
- Public reaction includes memes, viral and sometimes fake screenshots, and concerns that visible location could fuel harassment or chill speech.
- App code reviewed by a reverse engineer suggests a forthcoming VPN or proxy warning that could note when a listed country or region may be inaccurate, which X has not confirmed for launch.
