X Rewrites Its Android App to Support a Multi-App Ecosystem

X shipped a from-scratch rewrite of its Android app on July 20, 2026, after nearly a year of work. Product head Nikita Bier called it one of X's largest engineering efforts. The new codebase anchors a broader strategy: X Money and X Chat already run as standalone apps, with a video editor, cashtags, and custom timelines on the roadmap.
