Elon Musk introduces "XChat" as a strong competitor to "WhatsApp" with advanced encryption technologies.

Elon Musk, CEO of "X" company, announced the launch of the new messaging app "X Chat," expected to be a major competitor to communication apps like "WhatsApp," thanks to its advanced security features.

Musk revealed in a post on his "X" account that the app will be available this week to users, "unless any obstacles arise," confirming that "X Chat" supports sending all types of files, in addition to voice and video calls across various platforms, with disappearing messages to enhance privacy.

He added that the app relies on an encryption system similar to that used in Bitcoin, and is programmed in the language Rust known for its high speed and high levels of protection, making it an optimal choice for users seeking a secure and smooth messaging experience.

Currently, "X Chat" is in a testing phase limited to paid subscribers on the "X" platform, without disclosing a date for its availability to free users or the release of a limited-feature version. The app is expected to include Android, iOS, and web interfaces to ensure wide distribution.

This launch is part of Musk's vision to transform "X" into a comprehensive communication platform, competing with major global messaging apps, based on advanced encryption technologies and file exchange flexibility to meet users' needs in an era where privacy and digital security are increasingly important.
