The DOJ wants a “win” so they will settle for a couple hundred million and claim victory. Nothing will change.

Pretty easy solution. Just show it in the App Store as “X - A Social Media App” or some shit

Apple discourages adding subtitle as part of the app name and I don’t recall ever seeing one, so they might even disallow it.

Good old minimum character validation

gkd ,

I admittedly didn’t read the article. Is that the reason or does someone already have an app called X? Either way they can just call it like “X - Formerly known as Twitter” but he’s probably too childish to do that.

IDatedSuccubi ,

Yeah, there’s just a minimum requirement on app names in the store

“What about X and a space, either before or after?” software developer Yusuf Alp suggested a potential workaround in response to Berlin’s post.

“He already has a company called SpaceX,” chuckled Berlin.

Trailing and leading spaces are almost always trimmed in such cases, but that is indeed very funny.

madcaesar ,

No no no, make the name “X and a space”!

Amilo1591 ,

This could very well indicate resentment of Twitter employees, they were told to change name to X, they tried and it didn’t work, so they did nothing else.

Perfect example of notmyjob.

I’m sure this won’t end up being a huge deal, but the funny part is that this apparently wasn’t planned for. Gives you some insight into how much of a shit show Twitter/X HQ must be right now.

I think it's fait to just call it Twitter and not "x" or "twitter/x" or "x social" or "Twitter but actually x"

X will never stick 😅

    Leaded gas just started being phased out in the US in 1973 was still in use in the 80s was didn’t stop entirely until 1996. South Africa didn’t ban it until sometime between 2002 and 2006. It’s often used in reference to boomers, but gen x was also affected, even millennials to a lesser degree.

    I think I’m okay with it being referred to as “the social media network formerly known as Twitter” from here on out.

    I’m not. Prince was awesome. He changed his name to a symbol because Warner Bros trademarked his name and wouldn’t let him do what he wanted with his own music. People started calling him The Artist Formally Know as Prince. But the reason was ignored and everyone made fun of him.

    Musk is an idiot and loser and shouldn’t be even tangentially compared to Prince.

    I much prefer to call it “10”

    dylpickles ,

    I think you’re a little silly for assuming that directly references Prince. I wasn’t even alive when all that stuff with Prince was happening and I had only heard it happened in a conversation I had with my mom when I was like 12. A conversation suddenly brought back to mind by your comment.

    That’s just kinda what you call something that was formerly known as something else when the something else is not well received.

    can ,

    It was popularized by the Prince situation whether people know that today or not.

    Rakn ,

    This might hurt a little, but I don’t think most people today know who Prince is. I just know that he was a musician. That sentence is also a commonly used sentence in such scenarios, unrelated to one person.

    Buddahriffic ,

    Call it “no”, or maybe “close button”.

    ReadyUser31 ,

    It’s been renamed to X on my partner’s iPhone so they seem to have gotten round it already.

    asparagapple ,

    Same for me but the App Store page for the app still says Twitter. Changing it there requires approval I think.

    deranger ,

    They haven’t. It’s still Twitter in the App Store. The icon/app name on your phone is not what the article is discussing.

    Here_in_Malaysia ,

    That’s crazy. He wants to turn the app into an everything app and there isn’t even concrete plans in place. Wish I could be a fly on the wall in their meetings. If they even have one.

    It’s quite something how Twitter has been constantly tinkered with since musk took over, and instead of making any tangible improvements, it’s actually just created more mess.

    Can they just do “-X-“? Just as stupid, but whatever.

    I vote for xX-[X]-Xx

    Alas, this being the darkest timeline, we’ll probably end up with X Social.

    Spendies , in Apple rejects new name 'X' for Twitter iOS app because... rules

    Seems obvious. They should just add 2 more X’s.
