On April 14, reports surfaced indicating that XChat, an independent messaging app developed by Elon Musk’s social media platform X, had opened for pre-orders on the Apple App Store over the previous weekend. The app was set for its official launch on April 17. Often referred to as "Musk's version of WeChat," XChat boasts end-to-end encryption, a commitment to being ad-free and tracker-free, and supports a range of functions including voice and video calls, group chats, and file transfers. Additionally, it integrates the Grok AI assistant. This announcement quickly garnered widespread attention online, inadvertently leading to the proliferation of counterfeit, pirated versions of XChat.
