"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.
Gold.
This is amazing :)
Trailing and leading spaces are almost always trimmed in such cases, but that is indeed very funny.
No no no, make the name "X and a space"!
That took me way too long to get lol
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 😅
It's been renamed to X on my partner's iPhone so they seem to have gotten round it already.
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.
Same for me but the App Store page for the app still says Twitter. Changing it there requires approval I think.
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.
Lol awesome. Fuck Elon Musk.
no thanks. I don't fuck manbabies.
Pretty easy solution. Just show it in the App Store as “X - A Social Media App” or some shit
"The App Formerly Know as Twitter"
The Prince solution, I like it.
Love Finderrz with two Rs and a Z.
Apple discourages adding subtitle as part of the app name and I don't recall ever seeing one, so they might even disallow it.
Didn’t meta’s threads do that?
Inb4 he throws an ego-driven temper tantrum because they won’t make an exception to a rule that has existed since the dawn of the app store specifically for his special ass.
“Did you know Steve Jobs was a pedo?” “Oh shut up, Elon.”
Read that as "dawn of the ape store"
I read it is as "tempura tantrum"
Good old minimum character validation
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.
Yeah, there's just a minimum requirement on app names in the store
Good. I'm all for (even the smallest) confrontations between shitty billionaires and/or shitty corporations.
Right? Shit politicians too. Ron DeSantis got me rootin' for fucking Disney. I hate Disney in general, but I wish they'd play more serious Illuminati hardball with DeSantis.
Ten
I'm once again begging you people to not fucking besmirch the debut album of Pearl Jam. Thank you.
Is that what Gordon plays when you don’t see the signal?
Everytime you post/upvote Musk spam he gets free marketing. Downvote this shit.
X for Twitter
X FOR iOS is probably better. But being an app developer and dealing with apple bullshit so many times I'm frothing over how delicious this snack is.
Might have missed the joke
That news is actually funny 😁
X, by X Corp? Fuck Elon btw
If emojies we're allowed we very well know Musk would go for it. 💩X💩
I hate to agree with Apple but...
Did they try “X”?
They should try 𝕏
