X Introduces Number Code Option for Secure Messaging

X Launches Secure Number Code for Direct Messages

X has introduced a new number code feature for its updated X Chat messaging system, providing users with an alternative way to connect without sharing phone numbers or personal details. The feature generates a unique 10-digit "X number" that can be shared to enable direct messages (DMs) with non-followers.

How the X Number Feature Works

As shared by @XFreeze on X, the new system allows users to generate a temporary code that grants DM access to non-followers. Profile visitors who are not mutual followers can enter this code to initiate a conversation, adding an extra layer of security.

Additionally, users can refresh their X number to update the code, maintaining control over who can message them. This feature also enables audio and video calls for approved contacts.

Enhanced Privacy and Flexibility

The update expands X Chat’s functionality by allowing users to selectively open their DMs to a broader audience without compromising privacy. Currently, X permits users to receive DMs from followers or, optionally, from anyone. The new number code system provides a middle ground, letting users share access temporarily—ideal for events, promotions, or exclusive fan interactions.

For example:

• Event organizers could share a code with attendees for post-event communication.
• Celebrities might offer limited-time access to fans before deactivating the code.

Rollout Status

The X number feature is currently being rolled out to users globally. This update aligns with X’s broader efforts to enhance messaging security and usability.
