Viral posts portray XChat as a standalone platform representing the “future of private communication.” These posts often emphasize that the service is powered by a “Bitcoin-style encryption model” and highlight its independence from phone carriers, cross-platform functionality, and ability to handle any file type.

The review says XChat is a messaging update within X, not a standalone app, and that its “Bitcoin-style encryption” description is misleading because it does not use blockchain technology. It also says XChat works across Android, iOS, and web, does not require a phone number, and supports sharing various file types.

Publisher’s rating: FALSE

The review says Meta AI can access messages that mention @Meta AI or are intentionally shared with it, but cannot access entire group chats or members’ contact details. It also says Advanced Chat Privacy does not control Meta AI’s access, which is already limited, and that personal and group messages remain end-to-end encrypted.
