X (formerly Twitter) releases X Chat app on Android

- X (formerly Twitter), owned by Elon Musk, has released a standalone messaging app called "X Chat" on the Google Play Store, separating direct messages from the main X platform into its own application. - This is part of a broader effort to turn X into an "everything app" (or "super app") similar to China's WeChat, which combines messaging, social media, payments, and other services in one ecosystem. - The move follows other attempts to expand X's functionality, including X Payments (money transfers) and X Premium subscriptions. It also mirrors Musk's earlier comments about creating an all-in-one app originally called "X" before he rebranded Twitter. - The standalone chat app could indicate X is trying to compete with messaging giants like WhatsApp, Telegram, and Signal, while also pushing users toward more integrated services within its ecosystem.
