X (Formerly Twitter) To Discontinue DMs, XChat Set To Replace Messaging Feature
X (formerly Twitter) is reportedly phasing out its Direct Messages (DMs) feature. A new messaging service, XChat, will soon take its place as part of Elon Musk’s super app vision.
In a major shift, X (formerly known as Twitter) is set to retire its Direct Messages (DMS) feature and introduce a new messaging platform called XChat. The change is part of Elon Musk’s vision to turn X into an all-in-one super app that combines social media, payments, shopping, and communication. This claim was made by Zach Warunek, a self-identified software engineer with over 24.8K followers on the Elon Musk-owned platform. Elon Musk’s X Becomes Most Downloaded News App on Apple’s App Store in US in Tops Free and Grossing Categories.
