X Launches a Completely Rebuilt Version of Its Android App
X says the rebuilt app modernizes its Android foundation and will let engineers ship new features faster, with more updates still coming.
- On Monday, X released a completely rebuilt Android app designed to deliver faster performance, smoother scrolling, and improved notifications across the platform.
- Development took nearly a year after X acknowledged the Android experience lagged behind its iOS counterpart, prompting head of product Nikita Bier to assemble an internal "dream team."
- Bier described the overhaul as "one of the largest engineering projects" in company history, built on a new Kotlin and Jetpack Compose stack enabling faster feature releases.
- Existing users can download the update through the Google Play Store, though X noted work remains ongoing to optimize performance for older devices and add Spaces support.
- The relaunch positions X to strengthen its presence in international markets where Android remains dominant, supporting expansion into private messaging, payments, and video creation.
