Elon Musk has released a major update on his social media platform X has launched a new chatting feature called “X Chat”, which looks to be a direct challenge to WhatsApp, Arattai and other messaging apps. Musk has long been talking about making X an “everything app” and X Chat is considered an important step in that direction. This new feature gives users complete freedom from instant messaging to file transfer and secure conversations.

Elon Musk himself announced this by posting on Musk said that X Chat has been developed in such a way that users can do more secure and private chatting than before. The most important thing about this feature is that the facility of taking screenshots during messaging can also be blocked, which will protect confidential information from theft. This feature is available on very few platforms till now and is considered a major achievement of X Chat.

X Chat also features the ability to edit and delete messages, so users can quickly correct any mistakes. Like WhatsApp, the facility of file transfer, sending photo-video and audio-video calling has also been included in X Chat. The special thing is that earlier where X was limited only to social media updates, posting and micro-blogging, now it is making its mark among the users as a messaging app also. Experts believe that the increasing popularity of X Chat can become a new competition challenge for WhatsApp.

Along with this, Musk also told that after X Chat, “X Money” will also be launched very soon. X Money aims to make X a platform where users can not only chat but also transact money easily. This feature can have a huge impact in countries like India where UPI based payment system is already very popular. Musk wants X to be an app that provides a one-stop solution for messaging, social media, payments, shopping and entertainment.

In view of the rapidly increasing incidents of deepfakes and cyber fraud around the world, the security features in X Chat have been strengthened. Users can rest assured about the privacy of their chats as X claims that messaging data will remain secure only between the sender and the recipient and will not be misused on any system or server.

WhatsApp is the most used messaging app in India. After this, Indian apps like Signal, Telegram and now Arattai are also rapidly making their place. In such a situation, the entry of X Chat will further intensify the competition in the messaging market. Tech experts believe that if X Chat continues to provide users with new features and better security options, then it can become a strong alternative to WhatsApp in the future.

Overall, Elon Musk’s X Chat is emerging as the new super-feature of the messaging world. Secure, fast and equipped with modern features, this app leads users to a new experience. Now it will be interesting to see how fast X Chat gains popularity in India and around the world and whether it will really be able to compete with apps like WhatsApp and Arattai.
