AI Summary

X (formerly Twitter) has launched a completely rebuilt Android app after nearly a year of development. The new app, constructed from scratch using Kotlin and Jetpack Compose, delivers improvements in speed, scrolling, loading, and notifications. X head of product Nikita Bier described it as one of the company's largest engineering projects, noting it will enable faster feature development. Some features, including Spaces support and optimization for older devices, are still being added.
