X messenger

Description of X messenger

Top Features:
Lock Chats: It allows you to lock your chats. This can be bypassed with a quick PIN entry or via your phone’s fingerprint sensor. The feature is ideal in case your phone’s stock user interface doesn’t offer App Locking. To enable It, you can head over to the Settings/ Privacy and Security/ Passcode Lock.
Secret Chats:
The default chats are backed up by the platform’s secure cloud. This allows you to use the same account on multiple devices, including your laptop. However, these chats are not end-to-end encrypted, since X messenger needs access to your chats to make them available on other devices where you have logged in.
Self-destructing Media:
To send something with a timer, head over to the chat, open up your gallery, and tap on a preview to select an image or video. Look for the timer icon shaped like a stopwatch in the four options below the media (Next to crop, edit, etc). Here you can set a timer after which the media will expire.
Two-Step Verification: the feature requires entering a password every time you log in to X messenger from a new or old device. The password is needed in addition to the OTP or one-time password, which appears when you set up the account on a new device. This protects your account from identity theft should someone find out your password as they will still need the password to log in. To enable this, head over to Settings/ Privacy and Security / Two-Step Verification.
Proxy Servers: This lets users hide their IP address by connecting to a custom proxy server. This works similar to how a VPN connection, but is a feature you should be using only if you know what you’re doing. While a proxy is not as secure as a VPN connection, it has the advantage of not taking a hit on your internet speed. Users can navigate to Settings/ Data and Storage/ Proxy Settings to set up a proxy server.
Delete Sender’s Messages: X messenger allows users to delete not just their own messages, but also those sent by others in private one-on-one chats. While this feature is a little shady and can be counterproductive, it is a boon for those wanting absolute privacy in their chats. It can also be ideal if one party’s device is stolen and want to clear any confidential messages from the chat. To delete the Sender’s messages, just long-press on any chat message and hit the delete icon on top, similar to how you would delete your own messages. Unlike WhatsApp, there is no time limit for deleting messages and you can navigate to older messages and delete them too.
Control who can (and can’t) add you to groups: X messenger lets you fine-tune and set up permissions to add your account to groups. This prevents random strangers and annoying contacts from adding you to groups without your permission. You can set this up by heading over to Settings/ Privacy and Security/ Groups. Simply set the dropdown to My contacts so that no strangers can add you in groups. Further, you can add more exceptions in the options below so that particular contacts are blacklisted/whitelisted to add you.
View and disable active sessions: X messenger allows multi-device support, which means you can have the same account open on various devices at the same time. Over time, you may forget that you are logged in to some phone/laptop and that can be misused. To make sure this doesn’t happen, you can view all devices where your account is logged in. To do this, go to Settings/ Privacy and Security/ Active sessions. If you see any session that is still logged in that you want to be ended, simply click on that session and hit ‘Terminate’ to end it.
‘Delete my account’ timer: It allows you to delete your account if you do not use it actively for a period of time. Users have a choice to set the threshold time period before their account gets permanently deleted.
To set this up, navigate to Settings/ Privacy and Storage/ Delete my account. You can choose between 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year.
