According to a post by 'X' user Evelyn Janeidy Arevalo (@JaneidyEve), the button that was once written as 'Tweet' in browser version X had changed to 'Post'.




It seems that Tweet has changed to Post even in version 10.1.0-beta.1 of the Android application.



Also, Virtual Bishoujo Nemu/Nem⚡world's first ????Tuber (@nemchan_nel) reports that 'tweet' has changed to 'post' in Japanese.




As these changes are being phased in, some official X pages still use the term 'tweet'. Below is the English version of the help page, which is written as 'How to Tweet'.

On the other hand, it is already 'X' in the English version of Google Play. The package name of the app is com.twitter.android, but it is unlikely that it will be changed in the end because it is necessary to register it as a new app in order to change it.

Mr. Mask once muttered that he would change the name 'tweet' to 'X' 'X's', but in the end these changes were not made.






In addition, Mr. Mask said one of the reasons for changing Twitter to X, ``The name Twitter was meaningful when messages of 140 characters were exchanged like birds chirping, but now it is a few hours of video. You can now post almost anything, including over the next few months we will be adding comprehensive communication and the ability to manage the financial industry as a whole because the name Twitter doesn't make sense in this context so we I have to say goodbye to this bird (Twitter).'
