X hits pause on its encrypted DMs feature


X said it will work on "making some improvements" to the encrypted DMs feature. It didn't mention when the feature might be available again.

Social network X said on Thursday that it is pausing its encrypted DMs feature as it works to make some improvements. In a post on X, the company’s engineering account said users will be able to access their existing encrypted messages, but they won’t be able to send new ones. For instance, the feature isn’t available for group chats, and only supports encryption for text and links, not media.
