xat has started a wider beta test of the xat chat app for android devices.

If you find a new bug you can report it here: Community - You will need a separate account to do this.

Installation

By default, your Android operating system will not allow the direct download of programs that are not from Google Play, as this can be insecure. You have the option to override this setting—temporarily if you decide—to download the mobile beta application directly from xat's servers.

  1. On your phone, go to Settings > Security. Tap the option to allow installation of applications from unknown sources. Do this before you download the mobile application from xat.
  2. Navigate to the direct download link (posted at the top of this article) on your mobile browser.
  3. Upon tapping the link to download, the application should be installed automatically. If not, find your downloads folder and install it.


Changelog
New in 1.5.4
  • Notifications can be turned off or friends only
  • Chats page works better
  • Message timestamps work
  • Powers can now be toggled on/off

FAQ

How do I log in?

Click the more option (3 vertical dots). Put in your username and password. Press "Login". Then click the chat bubble. You may need to login a second time to get push notifications to work. Note there is no login succeeded message.

I have an iPhone can I run the app?

Unfortunately there is no equivalent beta program for iPhone, so iPhone users will need to wait until the application is more complete.

What is the lowest version of android that can run the app?

The minimum is Android 4.1 Jelly Bean (API level 16).

Are there any other charges I should be aware of?

The application is completely free to use. However, the application will have full access to your data including both WiFi and GSM(3g/4g). We, therefore, suggest only using the application at this time if you have an unlimited plan. We will not be responsible for any charges made due to data allowance. You accept this agreement when downloading the application, as well as agreed upon in the Terms of Service.
