The update about the TV app was shared by Linda Yaccarino, CEO, X this week.

The dedicated TV will host videos that will be streaming in high-res definition, she adds.

The teaser video of the app’s interface suggests X could offer a UI similar to YouTube which makes it easier for people to use.

Users can expect trending video algorithm, AI-powered topics, cross-device experience, enhanced video search, effortless casting, and wide availability (coming soon to most smart TVs).

X is definitely changing the paradigm of a social media app, and Musk is clearly focused on making it an everything app.

Having a smart TV app not only increases its reach but also brings new customers to the platform.

The video streaming service will definitely appeal to many but it remains to be seen how Musk and Co. plan to populate the content on the platform and where it sources the content.
