X launches TV app for watching videos on the big screen

On today’s episode of What Do I Want to Be When I Grow Up, X (formerly our beloved Twitter) is looking to become a YouTube competitor. While the crazy platform plans to eventually replace Venmo, LinkedIn, Google Meet, and WhatsApp, its short-term plans revolve around video content. So, naturally, the company has released a native app for smart TVs that makes it easier for families to come together over X videos.

Accordingly Digital TrendsX TV is currently available on the Google Play Store, Amazon App Store, and LG App Store. Notably, the Apple App Store for tvOS still displays the old Twitter app, so the two interested Apple TV users will have to wait for a future update.

According to the Google Play Store listing, the new TV app will allow users to conveniently browse and watch videos posted on X, including recorded content, live events and news. Although the service is free, you will still need to log in with your account to access it.

Before the launch of the X TV app, users could only stream videos via the iOS or Android app to watch on the big screen. By offering a native application, TV users can now browse the endless catalog of high-quality content more conveniently and without being tied to their smartphone.

Will X next release a Tinder clone to help singles find their long-lost soulmate? Stay tuned.
