# X Checks Recordsdata Attachments for DMs

X customers could quickly get extra DM performance, with the capability to connect information to DMs at the moment in testing within the app.

As you possibly can see on this screenshot, back-end iOS code strings on X already embody DM attachment references, which counsel that expanded components are coming. The identical code strings are additionally included within the Android app.

That will increase the capability of X as a messaging software, and align with the broader imaginative and prescient to transform it into an “every part app”, by means of which customers would be capable of conduct extra of their day-to-day actions on a single platform.

And devoted messaging, which has grow to be a key connective factor, is an enormous consideration on this respect.

Certainly, again in September, X proprietor Elon Musk stated that X is engaged on “decoupling” DMs from public posting within the app: “in order that if all you wish to do is use this platform for messaging, however not publish publicly, you are able to do so.”

With the ability to connect information, then, makes lots of sense, enhancing the messaging capability of the platform to make it extra of a devoted messaging software, if that’s how individuals wish to use it.

The “every part app” imaginative and prescient remains to be a good distance off, with X reportedly delaying its funds push as a consequence of a problem in acquiring funds processor licensing in New York. However X remains to be constructing out its performance in different methods, whereas it’s additionally added varied DM updates to boost this side.

X added voice and video calls earlier this yr, whereas it additionally added DM enhancing in September.

Together, X has made some vital shifts, whereas the “de-coupling” of DMs from the primary app would mark one other main milestone in increasing app utilization.

There’s no phrase as but on a possible stay check or launch date, however contemplating X’s fee of rollouts, I’d say it’ll in all probability launch quickly, although seemingly for X Premium subscribers solely.
