X launched XChat, a standalone iOS app for private messaging with any X user. The app integrates with verified X profiles, provides end-to-end encryption, editable messages, and upgraded group chats while prioritizing speed. XChat avoids push notifications for distraction-free privacy and marks the first release in X's expanded messaging roadmap. It is now available on the App Store.

Why it matters

Nikita Bier (X Head of Product) launched Gas in the same high school five years after his TBH app.

Benji Taylor (X design lead) started one month before the XChat standalone iOS app reached the App Store.

Soleio (Like button co-inventor) praised Benji Taylor after X recently hired him to design the XChat app.

Today we’re launching XChat, a standalone app for all your conversations on 𝕏. It’s fast, private, and just the beginning of what we’re building for messaging.
