end of dms on twitter

[gigateub]

Seems twitter is going to end dm's and replace it with something called xchat.

I don't use dm's so waiting to see how that chat thing will work

Not a heavy dm user myself, but I’m definitely curious if this is more than just a name change

Let's wait and see, I use it for promoting long term, not spamming but I keep and eye on everything X/twitter related

Also curious if this change comes with new tools or hidden limits have you noticed any shifts in reach or engagement lately?

Actually, yes, over the last week, my follower count has increased after it had been stagnating for a few months

That's super interesting, sounds like something might’ve shifted in the algorithm.

I have a feeling it will be like Messenger of Facebook. A different app for Twitter.

From what I've seen something called X chat, I don't know if it would be within the X app or a side one. As musk has said repeatedly he wanted to do the same as an all in one Chinese app , I'm guessing within X.

Yeah, that's the one. From the way it was communicated, I got the impression it would be its own app. Peculiar.
Yeah in CN, they have one app for online banking, chats, social media. Suddenly I remembered the original X website Elon used to have. It was also for online banking and he pretty much sat on it until the Twitter acquisition. Guess he still wants a bit of everything in his own super app.

Found it, he said he wanted to do an all in one app "inspired" by wechat.

X.com used to be linked to paypal somehow eons ago. When they still wanted to be 'rebels' lol

From what I read X has been quietly acquiring licences across the USA (and i guess other countries) to be able to handle money.

elon musk will do anything to innovate something lol, seems like the kanye of technology. It should be decent, maybe some more neat features.

It was it's own online banking platform, but yeah it was connected to PayPal in some capacity. We'll see where ol' Musk wants to take these ventures since he's clearly got his eyes set on some superapp or at least is looking to put several services under one umbrella.

XChat is a new messaging feature developed by X, aiming to compete directly with popular messaging apps like WhatsApp and WeChat. According to leaked information, XChat will be integrated right into the X interface, completely replacing the old message tab.

I hope it will be a positive change, looking forward to see how XChat will work in practice
