“XChat is now on the\u00a0<\/span>App Store<\/a>, where its listing says that it\u2019s expected to be available for download on April 17. This isn\u2019t the same IRC app from the early aughts, which you may remember if you\u2019re of a certain age. This is a messaging app specifically for X users. X chief Elon Musk first talked about rolling out a new version of his social network\u2019s direct messaging feature in mid-2025. In a series of posts back then, he said the new version would be encrypted and would feature a \u201cwhole new architecture.\u201d He also said all X users were getting XChat in June last year, but Musk is pretty infamous for being overly optimistic about timelines.”<\/p>\n
