Recently, X has begun a closed testing of a dedicated messaging app called X Chat. So, what should you know about it?
We could expect this feature to roll out gradually
For your information, this is seen to offer messaging support like on X, and focuses entirely on messaging, without the distraction of other modules such as social platforms, etc. For now, X has just started testing X Chat on iOS, and it is expected to be expanded gradually.
For the past few months, we’ve been quietly building a standalone X Chat app for iOS.

Today we’re opening it to the first 1,000 users on TestFlight.
Use it. Break it. We want your feedback.

Additionally, if everything goes smoothly, X may position it as a dedicated messaging app, competing with WhatsApp and Telegram. The X Chat app is also expected to add a number of additional features, including voice calling support.
Besides the rumoured built-in messaging app, there are no further details on the rumour. So, we should wait for more announcements from X or Elon Musk.
