Overview
- Chat brings voice and video calls, file sharing, disappearing messages, message editing and deletion, and screenshot blocking or alerts.
- The rollout is live on iOS and the web with Android listed as coming soon, and legacy DMs are carried into a unified inbox.
- X’s help pages note that recipient and timing metadata are not encrypted and that users currently have no way to detect a compromised conversation.
- Users are prompted to set a four‑digit PIN that protects private keys for device restoration, a design that researchers say raises brute‑force and transparency concerns.
- Encrypted group chats and media are supported, with a voice memo feature in development and additional verification safeguards promised.
