On 24 April, an independent private letter application XChat was officially online at App Store.
This was the official publication of this application after the third delay.
XChat is not an AI chat robot, it's an independent private trust tool that focuses on solving the long-standing problems of the Twitter-era private trust function.
Twitter # # private letters of the times have been bad
The entrance is hidden in App, the encryption is not transparent, the interfaces are mixed with the public content, and the flow of information is written in private.
That's what XChat is trying to solve: ** bring out personal letters alone and make an independent, focused private chat tool.**
What's there?
Based on the online version and information from previous testing stages:
** Interface is iOS 26 design language, iOS 26 keyboard. ** Some platform owner App is still using the old keyboard and XChat has been updated. This means that it is not simply disassembly, but redesigned.
** End-to-end encryption, no advertising, no tracking. ** For a platform, this is a clear experience upgrade.
** Support for interdiction maps, burning on reading, community chats, video calls. ** Group chat supported 350 people, still growing. Pulling people into the crowd requires downloads of XChat, and the friendship system is relatively closed.
** Has its own XChat icon system. ** You can switch one key in the settings, which is less common in IM applications.
** There are visible buttons that can jump directly to a platform owner, App. ** Two Apps go hand in hand.
** Not currently supporting CarPlay. ** This is currently a relatively obvious missing item.
Background
One platform closed the Communities on April 22nd, with the alternative being Groupchat Links. XChat on line at this point, not by chance.
XChat wants to do more than just a private mail tool, it's the beginning of an IM platform. Communities are old group experiments, Groupchat Links is a new private traffic program.
The XChat official account states: "This is an independent application for all dialogues on a platform. It is quick, it is private. It is only the beginning of our private trust."
How do I look
XChat addresses the long-standing panel of the platform ' s private trust function: no use, no encryption, no independent access.
But the core competitiveness of the IM tool is not just functional; it is the number of users above it.
The target users of this application are people who already have a social link on a platform but who feel that their original personal trust experience is not good enough.
For users who are not active on a platform, the XChat functionality is not a reason for migration.
