""Signal, WhatsApp, Telegram, and iMessage all have serious security problems. XChat is the only secure, encrypted messaging app.""
""I'm a little suspicious of that, because the more data points you connect together about a person, the more you can track what they're doing.""
""Given XChat's history of security vulnerabilities, I would hesitate to use this until it's received a thorough outside auditing.""
""Rather than launching a sleek, new encrypted messaging app, Musk dropped an insular, junky extension of his social media platform that happens to include encrypted messaging.""

Experts raised concerns about XChat's data handling, particularly the requirement to link an existing X account. Critics highlighted the risks of tracking user data and questioned the app's security, especially regarding the storage of cryptographic keys on X's servers. Comparisons to other messaging apps like Signal were deemed inappropriate, as XChat resembles a less appealing extension of Musk's social media platform rather than a standalone, innovative product.
