XChat is coming, deleted messages and other options

Some of the functions reportedly part of XChat include group messages, bottom-to-end encryption, a missing message mode, the opportunity to mark messages as unread and file sharing.

Messages also appear to be provided with a four-way password, Telegrafi, broadcast Periscope.

X reported recently that he was stopping work at his encrypted post The DM, which could be linked to the future publication of XChat, as the new system would make the existing DM interface outdated.

Those who pay for their X accounts have had access to a limited version of mail encrypted for two years.

In the years since he bought Twitter, Musk has been constantly talking about his ambitions to build an X-like message service.

If XChat is really preparing for the general public, then that news may be the outworking of his purpose.

Moose himself gave new details, saying: “There is a completely new XChat with encryption, deleted messages and the possibility to send any type of file. It also offers audio/video calls. This was built on Rus with encryption (in Bitcoin style), a whole new architecture”.

All new XChat is rolling out with encryption, vanishing messages and the rehabilitation to item any kind of file. Also, audio/video calling.
