The most common question users ask is whether their messages are truly private. XChat answers this with the Juicebox Protocol. This is a specialized encryption layer developed by X Corp to handle “End-to-End Encryption” (E2EE) across multiple devices.

How Juicebox Works: Most encrypted apps make it impossible to recover your messages if you lose your phone. XChat solves this by using Key Sharding. Your encryption keys are broken into pieces; some are stored on your device, and a “recovery shard” is stored in a highly secure, decentralized vault. By using your 4-digit PIN, you can re-assemble your keys on a new device.

Anti-Spam and Bot Protection

Because XChat is integrated into the X ecosystem, it uses Grok AI and account verification signals to filter out bots. This means your inbox stays clean from “crypto-spam” and automated phishing attempts—a major problem that currently plagues Telegram and WhatsApp.

Safety Features at a Glance:

• Encrypted Metadata: XChat hides not just what you say, but who you are talking to.
• Screenshot Alerts: In “Secret Chat” mode, you will receive a notification if the other person takes a screenshot.
• IP Masking: Your IP address is hidden during 1-on-1 calls to prevent location tracking.
