Elon Musk is once again in the news, this time about his new messaging platform XChat, which seems to be directly competing with WhatsApp. While WhatsApp is the world's largest instant messaging service, XChat is part of Musk's vision of an all-in-one "Everything App".
Although both apps provide messaging, calling, and media sharing, there are many major differences in their working methods and features. So let's know what are the five major differences between WhatsApp and XChat that make this new platform different.
To use WhatsApp, you must have a valid mobile number. Without this, neither an account is created nor chat is possible. But the most special thing about XChat is that no mobile number is required to use it. Users can login from their X (Twitter) account only. This is a big plus point for those who do not want to share their number.
WhatsApp is an independent app, which runs separately on Android, iOS, web and desktop. On the other hand, XChat has been integrated within the X platform (formerly Twitter). This means that you will not have to download any separate app, chatting, calling and other work will be possible in X itself.
WhatsApp is already known for end-to-end encryption, which keeps your chatting private. According to Musk, Bitcoin-level security is being provided in XChat. This claim makes it much more secure and hack-proof than WhatsApp. If this turns out to be true, then a new benchmark can be set in the world of chatting.
While WhatsApp gives the user the option to delete messages himself (Delete for Everyone), XChat offers the feature of auto-delete messages. This means that the messages will automatically disappear after a set time, which makes your privacy even stronger.
WhatsApp is fully functional for everyone - whether you are an Android user, use an iPhone or want to login on the web. On the other hand, XChat is currently in beta stage and only selected X premium users have been given access to it. This means that the common user will have to wait a bit.
