X 11.61.0

Official X Client (formerly Twitter) for Android.


Description


X, formerly known as Twitter, is a social media platform that allows users to share short messages, images, videos, and links, as well as interact with other users through likes, comments, and shares.

Interface and Navigation

  • The app features a simplified interface with a bottom navigation bar that includes:
    • Home: Displays a timeline with posts from followed accounts, suggested posts, and trends, organized by algorithms or in chronological order (configurable option).
    • Explore: Allows users to search for keywords, hashtags, or trending topics. Includes sections such as "Trends," "News," and "Entertainment," with content personalized based on the user's location and interests.
    • Communities: Facilitates participation in themed groups where users discuss specific topics, similar to forums.
    • Notifications: Shows interactions such as likes, comments, new followers, and mentions.
    • Messages: Allows users to send direct messages (DMs) individually or in groups, supporting text, images, videos, and emojis.
    • Grok: Integration with Grok 3, xAI's AI assistant, which answers questions and provides insights directly in the app (accessible via an icon or dedicated section).
  • Navigation is optimized for touch screens, with gestures such as swipe to refresh the timeline or tap to expand posts.
