X has released a fully rebuilt Android app, marking the end of a year-long engineering effort aimed at closing the gap with its iOS version. The refreshed app is now available for download and brings a cleaner, faster experience to Android users.
According to the company, the new version was created from the ground up to improve loading speed, scrolling, notifications, and overall reliability. X said the project was one of its most ambitious engineering efforts so far, with the Android experience redesigned rather than simply refined.
Product lead Nikita Bier previously said the company assembled a dedicated Android team to rework the app's foundation. The push also followed a period of strong Android download growth, making the platform a strategic priority for X.
The update is expected to support the company's broader product roadmap, including faster rollout of new tools and features. Bier noted that support for older Android devices, Spaces, and several upcoming features are still in progress.
For current users, the new version can be installed through the Google Play Store. The release signals a more unified mobile strategy for X, with Android now positioned to move in step with the platform's next wave of features.
This rebuild could help shape a more responsive mobile ecosystem for future social and creator-focused experiences.
