Elon Musk’s X launches Chata powerful new encrypted messaging system that replaces old direct messages (DMs) with best-in-class privacy features. Announced on November 17, 2025, Chat offers end-to-end encryption (E2EE), voice and video calling, disappearing messages and more, making X a true rival to apps like Signal And WhatsApp. Users on iOS and the web can access it now, while Android support is arriving soon. Old conversations are transferred seamlessly so no one loses the history.
This launch delivers on promises made after X paused encrypted DMs in May 2025 for major improvements. Now Chat offers no ads, no tracking and a total focus on privacy, allowing X to evolve into the “everything app‘, Musk suggests.
X launches chat: what does this chat yield?
X packages Chat with modern tools that users in 2025 demand. The platform emphasizes security and control in every conversation.
- End-to-end encryption: Protects messaging and file sharing; only sender and receiver read them (metadata such as timestamps remain unencrypted).
- Voice and video calls: High quality calling directly in Chat, no phone number needed (voice notes coming later).
- Disappearing messages: Set timers so that texts are automatically deleted after a chosen time.
- Screenshot controls: Get notified of screenshot attempts or block them completely.
- Edit and delete: Correct typos or delete sent messages at any time.
- Share files securely: Send files with full E2EE security.
However, Features to verify device identity and message authenticity will be rolled out soon.
