News India Live, Digital Desk: Ever since Elon Musk took charge of Twitter, he has been trying to transform it from just a microblogging site to an ‘everything app’. Taking another big step in this direction, X (formerly Twitter) has completely abolished its old Direct Message (DM) system. Its place has now been taken by a new and advanced ‘X Chat’, which has included many great features that compete with popular messaging apps like WhatsApp and Signal.
Now your chat will be completely private
The most important feature of the new X Chat End-to-End Encryption Is.
- What does this mean? This simply means that now your conversation will be secure only between you and the person to whom you are sending the message. No third person, even X himself, will be able to read or see your messages. This is a standard security feature found in WhatsApp and Signal, which will now be available to all users on X.
Now messages will also be automatically deleted
Making privacy even better Disappearing Messages Feature has also been introduced.
- How will it work? Through this feature you can set a timer for your sent messages. After the stipulated time, that message will automatically disappear from both sides. This feature is very useful for those who want to keep their conversations confidential.
Now make audio-video calls only on X
Elon Musk launched X with the intention of making it a complete communication platform. audio and video calling Feature has also been added.
- Now no need of another app for calling: Now you can make audio or video calls to your followers or contacts directly from the X app. This facility was earlier limited to premium subscribers only.
- Your privacy is in your hands: You can also control who can call you. In Settings, you can choose whether only people you follow, who are in your address book or only verified users should call you.
There are many more new features
Apart from these major changes, many other privacy features like blocking of sending large files and screenshots have also been included in X Chat. If someone tries to take a screenshot of your chat, you may also get a notification.
This new update is currently released in beta version for some users and it is expected that soon it will be rolled out for all users. It is clear from these changes that Elon Musk wants to make X not just a medium for tweeting and reading news, but a main medium for people to connect and talk.
