X Chat Privacy Features Coming: Elon Musk Promotes X Chat Amid AWS Outage, Highlights It Will Never Have ‘Hooks for Advertising’ Like WhatsApp
Elon Musk has announced that X Chat will receive enhanced privacy features while taking a jab at WhatsApp’s advertising model. During the recent AWS outage, Musk promoted X Chat as a secure communication alternative, emphasizing its commitment to user privacy.
Key Privacy Features
- No screenshot capability with attempt notifications
- End-to-end encryption for all communications
- Disappearing messages and media sharing
- Audio and video calling functionality
- File transfer and search capabilities
In a recent post, Musk confirmed: “X Chat doesn’t have and never will have any ‘hooks for advertising’.” This direct contrast to WhatsApp’s business model highlights X’s privacy-first approach.
The platform’s current security measures include blocking screenshots of conversations and alerting users when someone tries to capture chat content. Musk also noted that X and Starlink services remained unaffected during the AWS outage, demonstrating their infrastructure resilience.
X Chat continues to expand its privacy-focused offerings while maintaining its stance against advertising hooks that compromise user data.
