iOS Twitter app renamed to X after Apple makes an exception

01 August 2023
An unwritten rule said that app names must be at least 2 characters long, but Cupertino decided to let this one slide.

    Twitter and tweet is household name lol absolutely never. Though I agree X was a stupid name for super-app, social media app, micro blog, whatever.

        Wouldn't be surprised if Elon announces Xx twitter live xX where users would engage in private group video call.

              Also yea they can but its illegal and theyd be prisoned or killed. Especially killed if they exposed what happens in china and so on to the outside and inside of china.

                    Why take away the identity of such unique and household names and phrases (Twitter, Tweet, retweet). This renaming took away the essence of the service.

Chinese being prevented from knowing anything outside of China might be true 20 years ago when internet coverage was limited. In today's China, even with the great firewall, Chinese can still easily get any information they want.

                            Here's a word of advice about what you think is right or wrong. There are equally as many anti-China propaganda campaigns as pro-China ones.
